Yeah, my advisor can really kick ass when some one doesn't pay attention.
Glad to hear you are getting along well. sometimes my toroids will give a little buzzing off and on, but I believe thats just when the core goes in and out of saturation. sometimes it does and then it doesn't. when it did it in the way past, I would always take my clamp meter and clamp it on the secondary winding and it would always show an amp increase from the usual 1.5 amp to somewhere around 2.6 amp or so, so I learned not to worry about it.
my new components are trickling in at present. that's the only thing that has me idle at the present.
I have learned to be methodical and very diligent when it comes to building my latest TBCs and TPCs. one TBC now gives me 121 +- vac and the other TBC gives me 122 +- vac with a 246 vac combination. all close enough for present.
also at present the ZVS driver frequency with a no load condition always stabilizes at 32.8KHZ so I am setting the frequency to the TPC input by the use of a ac parallel 1.8uf capacitor and the coils own inductance of .013 mh
which give it a stable RESONANT FREQUENCY of 32.8 KHZ also. since a resonant frequency always tends to reduce the amperage of the power source to load this should help the inductors in the ZVS MODULE run really cool (temp wise).
I try not to miss any thing as I go forward.at a later time I intend to increase the performance of the whole system by a very nice word called
DIPOLE!!!! that's when the JOY begins.
It's really been nice chatting with you again. give me a whistle now and then to keep me up on how you are doing.
Thanks again,
Clarence
