Dear Andy, LF Group, Looking at the Class E design formulas, initially assuming efficiency near 100%, 55Vdc, then the peak current in the switch is about 24A, which is clearly going to drop quite a f
Hi Andy, it should be possible. When I was playing I didnt have that much current available at high volts. Finbar certainly had 550 W with 70v (ish) power supply but we used two devices in parallel.
Hello Andy, what you got looks fine for a 500W PA. Just the on-resistance of the IRFP452 (0.4 Ohm) seems a bit high. At 10A the heat loss in the FET will be 40W, lowering the efficiency a bit. An opt
