Re: [TCML] Hot Primary

["Dex Dexter" <dexterlabs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most likely,higher coupling results in
more secondary energy (and voltage stress).
Efficiency of the energy transfer is higher,
but what's more important,secondary streamers
has less time to dissipate supplied energy.
By increasing primary diameter you reduce
coupling and secondary structure is less stressed.
Your DRSSTC seems to be quite a big.
Can you give max input power and BPS you are running?
Secondary geometry parameters,and coupling between
coils would also be nice to know for comparison purposes.

I found that when I started 
using your boost converter I began to experience racing sparks which 
I attribute to higher supply current.  It has been my
experience that increasing the primary diameter allows for greater 
output before racing sparking occurs.  I plan to make some 
measurements with both primaries and
report more on this topic later.
