Folks,
I haven't been here for quite a while, as now retired; and, instead of a solid 100 M internet connection to my work desk, I'm now really struggling with an unreliable, very slow (14.4K??) home dial-up connection.
Am not here a lot due to extreme difficulty signing-on ( 1/2-hr. or-so to just get in, then exceedingly long waits for access to this and other sites), and then receiving downloads; so, please don't expect immediate response back to you; though, I will be here now more often than recently. Most frustrating!!!
So, please, if you have replies, no large attachments or photos! At least not for me.
I've been in professional commercial and military electrical / electronics manufacturing / engineering/ product test engineering & by hobby here in the U. S. A. for some 6-decades-plus now, so have plenty of experience. Because of my early hobby interest, I also know which end of a screwdriver to use, not just booklearning! And, I've always been wide open to other's information.
Recently purchased and received Oztules 6--15 Kw inverter book, supplement, and circuit boards; the circuit boards are wonderfully commercially and professionally made!
One question for Oztules and anyone else on here: I'm entertaining using a half-bridge to drive the inveter output transformer in a "push-pull" arrangement into a three-lead split winding primary. It seems to me that this would slightly increase efficiency, and cut the quantity of power-drive components by almost 1/2; thus, making the project even more cost-effective.
Has anyone tried this yet? Elaborate about problems encountered, if any?
I look forward to any and all comments!
Regards, JLB
