Subject: Toriod Capacitance vs. Output Voltage
Hi All,
I ran some simulations on toriod capacitance vs output voltage and got
some interesting results that I would like to share with you. Keeping all
other variables constant and just changing the load capacitance I got an
interesting graph.
It would seem that there is an optimal load capacitance for any given
system. This may be already well known but none the less I thought I would
post it and get a response. Once one has an operating system, the next
step would be to tune the load capacitance for maximum output. In the
graph you could be in a valley getting 1 MV when the system can deliver 10
MV and not know it.
I ran theses simulations using TCTUTOR from Corum & Associates where I
put in a theoretical 2 coil system and varied the load capacitance while
keeping all other variables the same and recorded the output voltage. I
ran the simulation with two different secondaries and got nearly the same
results. I have these graphs in TIF format for those who are interested.
Replies are very welcome.
