Скачать или смотреть first tests of my ZVS supplied by direct european wallsocket (230V)

In the video you can see my ZVS circuit which was originally ideated by Vladimiro Mazzilli. I did some changes on the values of components and i added a simple driver circuit for driving the gates of the 1200V IGBTs.
Due to sometimes blowing the fuse i finally built a reducer of the inrush current.
So after power on the 15V voltage for the driver circuitry appears.
Then with first relay the main voltage is switched on but it's reduced by a very simple inrush current reducer yet, until the second relay shorts this protection.
After that the whole circuit is directly connected with the 230V wallsocket voltage.

Arcs really look like two or more parallel microwave oven transformers.
I calculated the theoretically possible output power, which is around 7kW.
If you are interested in these calculations, please ask me.
The output power in this video is at maximum at ~1-1.5kW due to the large air gap yet.

Please note: the two IGBT modules on the big heatsink only perform the rectification of the input AC voltage.
I DONT use them for the main SMPS circuitry.
