I want to see how well this works out, I'm rebuilding mine : Link2

Note: my supply will fit within 10x15 (base) x15 (tall) cm (not including cables)

I have ordered the board, so getting somewhere.

Will have to do a multi-component order to get the other parts needed.

I wonder about building a HV isolator based on spinning wheel of capacitors, so I can get 60 kV isolated.

Board will be managed from UART control panel (not designed) or Ethernet control from computer. (also added RS232 & RS485)

Test-fitted the components loosely, no soldering so far.

Seems to fit nicely together

1451589028 1565 FT160992 Tryout


Just put RJ45 jack (ethernet), DSub (rs232), power input (screw terminals) in place. Looking good.

I'm following this with great interest. Love what you've done to date!

So you were driving the transformer at 30 kHz when you obtained 10 mA @ 30 kV? Is the maximum frequency somewhat limited by parasitic capacitance of secondary?

1. the transformers on that board is 3.3 mA, the other ones are 10 mA.

2. they are made to order to do 10 mA (blocks)/3.3 mA (round ones).

Progress:

Soldered on the logic + internal voltage regulators & FET's and drivers(not transformers yet).

Ethernet seems to work (ordering a genuine chip, seems like the ENC424J600 chips from aliexpress is junk)

Gate waveform looks good (low side only tested, no voltage on bridge)

Got to code some kind of data-logging before taking it live!

Pictures of board as of how it currently is here.

Waiting for a shipment of parts expected to arrive next week, then I should be able to get Ethernet up & running.

Next is code tuning, and transformer testing (with spark-gap)

It's actually a 25 MHz crystal for ethernet. I didn't have the right shape.
It will be replaced with a crystal that fits, as soon as I get the package I am waiting for. (Next week)
