How a Tesla Coil Works: Complete Explanation of DRSSTC Principles & Power Electronics

Discover how a Tesla Coil generates mesmerizing high-voltage sparks in this detailed explanation by Gregory. This video breaks down the working principles of a Double Resonant Solid-State Tesla Coil (DRSSTC) step-by-step, starting from the stunning end-result — massive electrical discharges — back to the power electronics behind it. Learn how a power electronics inverter drives bursts of 1500A through the primary resonant tank, transferring energy inductively to the secondary coil. Understand how the system functions as a band-pass filter, optimizing voltage and current profiles. Key topics covered: - The role of the double resonant circuit in voltage amplification - How the power electronics inverter operates - PFC boost topology for efficient power delivery from 220VAC mains - Why quad-phase topology and discontinuous mode operation were chosen Perfect for enthusiasts, students, and engineers looking to deepen their knowledge of Tesla Coils and high-voltage systems.
