The windings for the two gate drive transformers are 16 turns, and each transformer has 3 winding, one primary and two secondaries. The secondaries are connected in anti phase, and the primaries of the two gate drive transformers are also connected in anti phase too

I think you only need the secondaries wired in anti-phase. Wiring both primary and secondaries in anti-phase means you are back where you started.

I think you've made a mistake. It looks to me like you have both high side switches open together, and both low side switches opening together.

I think the mistake is because you've switched both the primary and secondary connections on the right hand side. You only need to switch the secondary connections, I think.

EDIT: I'm assuming switches 1 and 3 are high side and 2 and 4 are low side. 1 and 4 should be 'on' together, and 2 and 3 should be 'on' together, if I'm interpreting it correctly.


Yes your right ash. Just now I have read about H bridge circuit on wikipedia

Actually I made GDT connection on the suggestions of Mr. Julian

I have confused at point 7 on Julian suggestions.
Any how thanks a lot Mr. Ash for helping me on pointing out my mistake smile
Thanks a lot to Mr.Julian too :)

You mean I just need to keep only secondary of gdt are in anti phase. But in Richie Burnett's schematic he connected left side gdt in parallel with points A and point B
But in second gdt (right side in schematic) point D and point C are crossly connected.
Plz check his schematic

At first glance, I think he has inverted the primary only. The secondaries look to be wired the same.

One more last question.

In above image Richie mentioned that . adjust for 50:50 square wave out put at 10k pot .
Did he mean to adjust 10k pot to its center position ??
(I don't have oscilloscope)
Plz help this is last doubt to make my coil resonate
Thanks in advance

I've not checked, but I assume the 10k pot adjusts the duty cycle. 50% is unlikely to be the mid point of the pot.

I can't think offhand of an accurate alternative to a 'scope. Maybe others who have built this without a 'scope can help here?

(EDIT: Maybe it's possible to charge/discharge a capacitor through a resistor, and measure where the average voltage remains constant, or some similar method?)
