Hi good work very nice coil, My question is what is the diference between SSTC and DRSSTC? because I see to bridge LC system in the primary coil similar to used in DRSSTC? and when you used interrupter is very similar the sparks form, I will like make DRSSTC but I dont have IGBT do you think is possible used bridge of IRFP460 with low power? thanks.

The filament will only be capacitively coupled with the plate voltages.

I’m still wondering about the SCR. My filament voltage is 6.3volts, but won’t the SCR see potentially 1000′s of volts when it’s turned off as the filaments will float to high voltage?

Hi Benjamin

It is possible to run it as you say, but be aware that you have to design it carefully to run at full voltage from day one, doing first light and testing and tweaking a variac will save you some headaches.

If you don’t have a variac, maybe use a 230v to 48v transformer or something in that manner, for testing, else you just risk a BOOM at full voltage and will have to rebuild and fault find on burned tracks.

Kind regards
Mads

Hello, I want to ask if it is possible to run this design without a variac?
The question is if it is possible to run this SSTC directly of the mains 230 VAC with a bulb as current limiting for charging the capacitor in the start, and after the capasitor is charged, just bypas the bulb and run the tesla coil directly from mains suply, without using a variac?

Hey Evan

Thanks for the kind word, I will keep on it and add more content, though it will be in the high power end of the hobby

Kind regards

Thank you for sharing your project online like this. It was so fun to build and play around with that I actually used a very similar circuit as my senior project this year for highschool! I passed with flying colors and am still enjoying this unique device in its own neat case. I got so much help from this site. Stuff like this is what can get people interested in electronics and wondering how it can work. Thanks again!

GEEK!
But very impressive tough…..

Hey Usman

1uF would work fine, but watch the temperature of the capacitor.

Its a MKP not MKV capacitor, its short in Europe for metallized polypropylene capacitors

Kind regards

I went through my stash of capacitors and found a 2500 volt, 1 micro-farad capacitor. Would that work just as well?
