Hello,
As we all (should) know, when the spark gap fires energy can transfer from
the primary to secondary coil, and vice versa, which is why first notch
quenching is important.
However, how does that concept transfer over to solid state coils? I am no
expert here, and I realize there are quite a few variations and styles of
solid state drivers...but I believe the most highly developed version is
the H bridge DRSSTC, correct? And they have a free wheeling diode, which
serves to prevent damage to the MOSFET/IGBT, but does it also keep energy
trapped on the secondary side as well? Else how is energy trapped in the
secondary?
Thanks,
~Dan (still a lover a spark gaps)
