Hello all,
I am getting ready to start working with my new wideband transformer.
Before I do though I want to be sure I protect the drive circuit.
Info on the coil:
Primary coil L=140uH, R=400mΩ Leakage L=5uH Applied voltage=+10V
I will be pulsing the coil in a range from 1kHz to 20kHz.
Current will be max 5 amps max at 1kHz.
My question is, can I just use a HV diode across the primary coil, or do I need a RCD snubber? I need the wave on the secondary side of the coil to be as square as possible.
