Though, I cannot imagine you have something crazy like 60 turns on your primary. Remember magnetic coil power is measured in amp turns, just like with a resistor if you increase the turns (impedance/resistance) it requires more voltage to push the same current through. Far too many turns will also greatly reduce current draw and reduce output. Primary Inductance The impedance of the primary circuit is the main limiter of the current draw for SSTCs, so if you're using very thin wire, or poor layout deisgn with high stray inductance you could be severely hurting your coil's performance. We need more details about the construction of the tesla resonator to diagnose your coil further.Ĭoupling Solid state coils require very tight coupling, if you are using the same setup one uses for a SGTC (flat primary below the secondary with large spacing) it will likely not work very well at all. (if the feedback circuit cannot receive a strong enough signal to maintain resonance you'd essentially be untuned (and my UCC chips like to run at 8MHz when no feedback is applied!) and get only very poor output. On my smallest tabletop SSTC based on Steve's designs I got 22.5mm output from only 50W input (25V 2A).ġ) How much current is the TC drawing when run CW?Ģ) Have you tried using a breakout point?ģ) Check placement of the antenna and verify the clamping diodes have not shorted. You're inputting rectified 120V mains (about 170V dc) to the fullbridge right? Something is wrong if you're only getting 1kV out. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.
