You have a very good point, it really sounds like a big capacitor discharging.
it has two knobs, screen and focus, can I get away by dialing them ?
The transformer is TV 29-FS4RL if it helps.
I do not have scope pictures but I have measured them and it looks fine, I am getting about 5ns edges

Hello,
I have built driver for CRT Flyback transformer with audio modulation. I have measured input signals and everything seems to be fine. When I inject audio and gap is large enough that it cannot spark, I can clearly hear the modulation. However, when gaps get short enough that it can spark, I get very thin (but long) purple sparks that are very loud, so much so that I cannot hear audio modulation anymore.
What could be the issue?
Voltage - 14V current drawn 12-13A RMS
How can I make brighter silent sparks?
Thanks

Hello
I am building SSTC that will be running on rectified mains voltage for high arcs. I will be using a gate driver for IGBT's and will be providing control signal from microcontroller isolated using transformer winded on a ferrite ring.
However, the chip requires 12-20V DC to be turned on and it cannot be fed mains voltage unlike other drivers. I was wondering building a small SMPS with 15V output isolated with optocoupler from mains. Can I combine mains rectified voltages negative side with SMPS 15V negative and directly connect 15V from SMPS to chips power pin? I am planning to use isolated DC-DC to power up microcontroller as well.
What could go wrong ?

Hello
I am looking for a musical SSTC schematic with
- Full H bridge - IGBT Drivers with pins that can turn on and off signal generation for audio modulation - working over line voltage (320V)
Please share them with me. I am planning to build about 500W SSTC
Even though it is possible to find schematic like this on the internet I would rather get it from someone who has already used the schematic and worked for them
Thank you in advance.

davekni, thank you for your reply.
resonance frequency of my sytem is about 400,000Hz. This means I will be having high frequency input signal to power transistor as well. I think my second circuit is going to address that issue, but problem is that on low frequency there is no protection. ( I will be turning it on 200 times per second with short impulses (200 us long))
I was planning to run in on low power, thanks for your suggestion!

Also which circuit do you think will perform better https://ibb.co/NY9FBGg left or right or are they the same in terms of shorting?

Thanks for your answer.
I was worried about the same issue. I though it would not explode if I shorted it for a short period of time. I have additional light bulb in series before something explodes it will turn on and absorb energy.
BUT: I have a question.
Aren't we technically shoring main supply to ground in half bridge case? since primary actually has very low ohmic resistance?

I am trying to build a DRSSTC but I am short on part at this time. I came up with a circuit that might work but I am not sure. https://ibb.co/Y0nqWG1will this give me any result if I use lower voltage for safety? also I will be using PWM with duty cycle of about 200us and 200hz

Hello, this is my first time building a tesla coil. (Im not new to electronics but I am new to tesla coil) This is my schematic. (Single power transistor 2D2499) https://ibb.co/mH873T1I generate signal using a microcontroller. However, for the safety, before rectifying 220 AC. I have ligh bulb (65 ohm) connected in series for short circuit protection. Basically, if transistor would blow up, light bulb would turn on. However there is very weird thing going on! When I turn the system on lightbulb turn on for a short time (until capacitors charge) and everything seems normal. then I start generating square wave from micronotroller and lightbulb TURNS ON!!! On lower frequencies (4-100khz) it is very bright. However about at RESONANCE FREQUENCY it is emitting much less light! but I do not have any sparks on sound from tesla coil. It cannot even turn on fluorescent light. What is going on ? Is my lightbulb limiting current ? If I remove it my circuit breaker might go crazy. Any advice
