No, does not change pulse width. If input current is too low, Zmatch inductor may have too high inductance.
If tank caps warms, it works.

hey!
what happens if i try to turn the inverter part with 250vDC?
are there risks of melting the fets(IRFP460s) ?
changing the inductor, and feeding it with 41,2vDC @ 6A it was capable of warming a screw, that turned untouchable, i think it was about 140ºC
The fets heated pretty well too...(I thought that they would work cool) but i have big dissipators now
Current is limited, the maximum that i could achieve using a very tiny inductor was about 6~8A, so i was thinking
if the amperage is limited to 2,5A
250V x 2,5A = 625 Watts
A acceptable power level, for beggining...

What do you think?

Hello

I build this circuit also - and it is not lucky for me :)
i burn two ir2184 when i use 4.7ohm resistors from HO/LO to gates of mosfets.
I change resistors to 22ohm and circuit start to working but....

When HO and LO are not connected to gates of mosfets signal is ok.

But when i make connection to mosfets the signal of HO looks like this:

Problem


Sorry this is paint - but signal on osciloscope is exactly the same.

Output from CD40106 is also ok - square wave of 50% duty cycle.

Someone can tell me what can be wrong ?
Circuit is from:
Link2

Regards
Pawel
