DRSSTC Tesla Coil

Resonant high-voltage hardware, custom driver electronics and measurement-driven tuning.

DRSSTC Tesla Coil

Overview

Experimental DRSSTC Tesla coil project. The underlying topology is based on an established circuit, while component selection, PCB implementation, gate-drive setup and resonant-frequency tuning are being adapted and characterized experimentally.

Engineering focus

  • Resonant system tuning
  • Gate-drive transformer behavior
  • High-current switching stage
  • Antenna feedback
  • Measurement-driven debugging

Development & debugging

High-power testing required iterative characterization of the gate drive, GDT, feedback path and switching stage. Device failures during early testing were used to identify weaknesses in the drive and power stage and guide subsequent revisions.
