Original poster: "Peter Terren" <pterren@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Of course you can make a TC gap using SIDAC's alone http://tesladownunder.com/Solid%20State.htm#SIDAC%20spark%20substitute%20solid%20state%20Tesla%20coil.%20(SSSSSTC)However, without quenching the performance is poor. A spark gap in series gives a great improvement.
Will the IGBT spark gap idea suffer with the same problem? Peter
Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .....It's a pretty complex question. The electronic gap I am thinking of has no quenching (at the moment). Maybe it could be added later...... Cheers, Terry
