Just a wild thought....Jays LPF is not inside the PA box. The filter is giving a frequency dependent load on the PA. Could it be possible that some reflected impedance is exagerating the ringing. As Andy said unwanted resonance somewhere. For accurate efficiency measurement you need to know what you are actually measuring but from the stability point of view the filter is not necessary. Is it possible (and worth trying) taking the filter out of circuit and putting the transformer straight into the load ?? Then see if the ringing is more controlled??

I honestly cant see why the driver would affect this. As far as I can see there is no sign of a ring on the gate waveform. As it goes off it drops straight to ground, starting before the other phase switches on. My naive though is that the filter may not be damping the ring but the wide band load might. Filters need treating with care theycan behave oddly when not terminated with resistive loads. Then there is the coupling that might be occuring inside the case.

Probably rubbish but I think its an angle we have not considered yet. :-))

Hello Paul,

I  am looking at your photo of the LPF. The specs say L1 and L3 should
have  52  turns,  and  L2, the centre one, should have 73 turns. i was
unable to get 73 turns on the toroid without winding on top of a lower
layer,  and  insulated  with  Kaptan tape. This made the overall depth
quite  a  bit  deeper  than  L1 and L3. In the photo it looks like the
centre  toroid  overall is no deeper than the end ones, and the amount
of bolt thread protruding *LOOKS* the same as the end ones. Your build
is so painstakingly neat though, it may be that you have aesthetically
made all the toroids look identical.

Jay,

When the package arrives I will swap out the caps and the IR2110. If
that doesn't do it I will order a new 74F74 and swap out the
resistors. If all of that fails I don't see anything else I can do.
Realistically at my level of expertise if it doesn't work at that
point I will have reached the end of the road. :-(

The caps I have are KEMET part # R82EC1100Z350J

Here is a link to the datasheet:
