Great work Dan. You didn't blow your bridge just trying to beat Steve
did you? ;-)

How much power was the coil sucking to get 66"? Your boards look nice,
would you be interested in doing another order for the ISSTC driver
boards? Or, if not, would you mind others going in and ordering using
your Express PCB artwork file? I personally am only interested in the
driver PCB. Thoughts?

Regards,

David Trimmell

I just finished my new PSSTC (Pulsed SSTC) and have hit 66" so far with
minimal tuning and pretty shoddy primary tank wires (12 AWG).

Specifications from these photos:
DC Bus Voltage:  335VDC
Primary Capacitor:  0.11uF, 12kV MMC
Fres:  111 kHz
Pulsewidth:  250us
PRF:  100 Hz


The whole webpage describing my coil can be seen here:

Arc photo prior to my full-bridge blowing up.  (See secondary to primary
arc
which initiated failure)
Distance from toroid to right wall is approximately 70 inches.
