Double resonant solid state tesla coil

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the suitability of a 0.660uF tank capacitor for a double resonant solid state Tesla coil using a 600V, 300A IGBT bridge. Participants emphasize the need for a circuit diagram to provide a more accurate assessment. The relationship between the tank capacitor and the MMC, which consists of 2000V, 1uF capacitors arranged in series, is questioned. Additionally, the operating frequency of the system is a crucial factor in determining compatibility. Clarifying these details is essential for evaluating the capacitor's appropriateness in the setup.

So, the igbt bridge system i have going is a 600 volt 300 amp full bridge of cm300 igbt's and i was wondering if a .660uf tank capacitor is too big for my system. The mmc is made out of 2000 volt 1uf capacitors, 2 strings of 3 in series. Thank you.

It is a bit hard to answer that question without a circuit diagram with details of the coils.
The mmc is 0.66uF. How does it relate to the tank circuit?
What is the frequency of operation?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
