Yes, the square waveform on the scope is the output of one side of the H-bridge, using a x100 probe.

I built a new tank capacitor of 0.3uF, connected it up, and retuned the system with a signal generator. The new tuning point is about 4.4 turns. Ready for another high voltage test run tomorrow smile

Looking forward to that! Are you using the same IGBTs or newer 400A ones?

I'm using the SKM300GB12T4 this time. This is a newer, faster device with Icm of 900A.

Brilliant cheesey Looks like the roof is going to have to come off then.

So what's the official spark length? Or are you still optimising the tuning?

I'm probably not the only one waiting to see some video!

Eight years, two months, one week and three days, is this a record? wink

Can't wait til you take it on tour, Steve.

Great stuff smile Interesting to see the cycle-skipping current limit in action as well. I'm thinking the trigger source for that could come from a conventional desaturation detection circuit, with all 4 outputs OR'ed into the controller (instead of turning the IGBT off straight away). Maybe, maybe not, just thinking out loud as I've had too much whiskey!
