Thanks for the compliment.  Yes, the FETs only get slightly warm but then
again their $70.00 apiece.  My first SSTC
used IRP460s which got darn hot under even 120VAC half-rectified, and then
under 240VAC usually blew up quite a bit!

I defintely anticipating when you'll be finished your project.  BTW, what is
your web link again, I'd like to check out your schematics.

Thanks
Dan
