Sorry about the mess-up.

for an input wattage of [/size] [/size]We can reduce the input voltage down to 48V once we are in the upper mode (jump resonance) and have tuned for resonance at 6.09 kHz before cuttoff occurs. The input wattage stays constant though (input current increases). Since the phase shift between voltage and current in the tank is less than 90° there is real wattage (heat loss) involved. This [/size] is much greater than the measured input wattage!? What could it mean?[/size]

Here is a relevant video showing reactive power.
Note that at one time the input bulb is off while the output bulb is on, suggesting an infinite O/I power ratio.

P.S.
The light bulb on the input side is not a reliable power indicator, because it does not constitute a load itself and due to MPTT.

I think what the input bulb IS good for is indicating the amount of current in the primary. If I recall correctly.

Luc was working with a very similar setup a few years ago, and I did a fair bit of analysis of it at that time. I would have to go back to my notes to confirm what I found.

Yes, this goes back to 2008 when I was experimenting with resonance, titled: "Resonance Effects for Everyone to share"
