Re: [TCML] Looking for pulse cap

Dave -

A few questions:

1. How are you calculating the voltage requirements for the tank cap?

2. How large a multiplier are you using to define the capacitor's voltage 
margin (safety factor)?

3. What is the manufacturer's voltage rating for the IGBTs you will be 
using?

4. What is the calculated peak primary current?
