RE: [TCML] DRSSTC weird waveform behavior
I'm sure my capacitors are fine, they are rather huge. The reason im sure, its doing this, is because of my isolation transformer. I wanted to scope the bridge output, without damaging it due to the common Black clip on my scope. So I used an isolation transformer on the mains input. I didnt have one. So i used the most cheapest source, with lost of lost. A microwave transformer. I stacked two together so the cores made contact, and tied the secondary wire, so I have a 1:1 transformer. Does the trick, but im sure thats the reason for the dips...Bad transformer. I'd imagen those things to become flat when I rehook it to mains feed. Will do the 2-prob ADD function for that later after I get my phase right. Which, im currently struggling with. I tried an inductor with variable 1-100,000ohm resistor (15 turns) and i had the resistor in parallel with the inductor. This was in series, with the CT leg that goes to the board, the input side, not the ground side. Didnt change anything at all really. even turning the resistor, really did nothing. unless im doing something wrong, I plan to try inductor--resistor in series, and parallel the whole thing to the CT.
