Hello,
after reading the document, I concluded that transistors not work well because there is an overload in the primary circuit. The current is too strong for switching IGBT.
(No detection of the transition to zero?)
So I suspect a bad frequency Raisonance I made several simulations java_tc but measures change according to the number of turns of the secondary (Insulation
Thickness), I can not do good measure.
the measurements are in centimeters
(In the simulation, java shows 458 ohms, while it is true in 260 ohms WHAT ?)
the number of secondary coil turns does not take into account insulation
