Hi all,
I am looking for some help/advice.
I put together a small circuit to power up a Flyback using an MJE13009.
In the process of trying to establish which pins are the PRIMARY and FEEDBACK coils, I found that if
I momentarily make the feedback coil, the flyback continues to generate a small spark for approx
6v and 35mA for a while after I had momentarily connect it.
The moment I connect the feedback, the current draw is substantial, around 500mA to 1A.
I am not even sure that I have got the Primary / Feedback coils as they should be, but I do not
want to undo anything yet.
This started because I wanted to generate a spark gap and use this for toying in Kapanadze stuff.
I tried first to wind 8 turn feedback and 25 turn primary and use 2N3055 but they kept burning out.
I have left these winding sitting unconnected. When I went looking for a better circuit, I landed back in Kapanadze thread and found a link to website with good flyback info.
What should one expect the current draw to be for a flyback. ?
