[quote user="drdna"]Since both sides use different amplifiers, I think there may be incomplete correlation between the two sides in terms of coincidence of frequency response. Small changes in frequency response that vary with frequency and ampli...

Here is another, simplified assault after some rethink and PSUD simulations.Rectifier: 3x1.2kV SiC per phase should do the job, actually 2 would do, but I'd preferto be safe. Bridge I don't want, as there would be 6 not 3 diodes switching1750V. 1.2kV...

[quote user="Antonio J."] - Regarding C2 the 2000uF/450v cap, he suggests to replace it with 5 x 200uF/200V by Mundorf (he can get them for a good price, probably better those five caps than a single 2000/450). I'm not sure about this replacement, it...
