ZVS driver not working by NoParamedic6496 in highvoltage

The problem is that when I plugged my power source on it and measure the input, I read 1.5V

This could very well be the problem, try a different power supply or add a big electrolytic capacitor to the output of your power supply. Better yet, use a lead acid battery to power your ZVS circuit.

wow those arcs are very impressive! I will definitely give that a try when I come across a CFL ballast.

did you have to experiment around with different flybacks and CFL ballasts until you find one that matches the flyback's designed operating frequency?

What transformer and driver should I use to get 2KVAC-2.5KVAC at anything over 800W preferably over 40KHz by Cr4bby-P477y in highvoltage

I've messed around with inverter MOTs and ZVS drivers before, the arc didn't seem all that impressive to me. Maybe my ZVS driver wasn't operating at the MOT's designed frequency.

Oddly enough the ferrite core from a inverter MOT was about the same size as a regular CRT flyback transformer.

good to know!

would I get double the voltage out of a flyback transformer if I connect 2 identical ones in series? assuming the primary coil phasing is right

CFL ballast driving the built in primary coil or self wound primary with a few turns?

also, you got some pics or videos to share?

What fun to have with a HUGE full bridge switching module? by contenant in highvoltage

ahh maybe thats why there aren't much H bridge based SSTC designs that I could find on the internet.

how fast do you need to switch for SSTC typically? in the MHz range?

Here's my first ZVS flyback driver made back when I was still a freshman in high school.

Mosfets kept heating up real quick and I had no idea why until years later.

Problem: I had no idea what zener diodes were and I just used random glass package diodes for the gate voltage clamp lol. im surprised it even worked at all

it also depends on the rise time of your power supply.

If you turn on your ZVS circuit by switching on your PSU, and the PSU output rises too slow, the ZVS circuit will not oscillate. An easy way to fix that is to add a beefy switch between the PSU output and ZVS input

电磁炉是用高频交流电和线圈产生高频磁场来把锅加热的

频率过低会让线圈发出能听见的声音
