Default Help RC SNUBBER!

Hello, please help me find the correct values of RC snubber!

45% duty cycle, frequency 54khz, without feedback
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/28/farafeedback.jpg

20% duty cycle
http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/7017/cufeedback.jpg

waveform of the primary and secondary is incorrect.

Thanks in advance!

power test on direct secondary, without feedback
picture of Vcc and Acc (power in) and wave form of secondary

My feedback dont work!
without feedback output voltage = 24.5V
My feedback is set to down voltage at 15v, bat dont work, output voltage remains at 24v

I agree with luka, waveforms are not that bad, at least within the level of detail that the tiny pictures provide.

I see some brief peaking and ringing on the leading edge of the secondary winding waveform, a RC or RLC snubber can be quite useful there, but the picture has not enough detail to see the frequency of the ringing and the height of the peak.

Primary side snubbers don't look like optimum, a 20W resistor is usually wirewound and exhibits too high inductance to be useful. The capacitors across the IGBT don't look like optimum either, although they can make things simpler and allow the transformer gate drive to work without parasitic turn-on.

EDIT: Remember to ground SYNC pin. At first glance I don't see a clear reason for feedback not to work, but there is no frequency compensation at all, so if it works, it won't be stable.

Primary side snubbers R=25ohm, C=8nF
Test is made at 100Vcc

What is your opinion?

What is the inverter current waveform?

Your output filter inductor doesn't seem to be inducting. The transformer waveform should be pulled to zero by the inductor. Were you drawing any current while measuring those waveforms? I suppose the explanation comes from here,
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/8462/datetehnice.jpg
where if you indeed followed its recommendation of slightly over 1uH, you won't be seeing continuous output current for along while (>30A?). Try a much heavier load.

Snubbers aren't very appropriate for the kind of overshoot you are seeing. That's more of a wiring / stray inductance issue. Or possibly a probe or oscilloscope compensation thing... Rigol isn't exactly vintage Tektronix. Since the peaks aren't blowing transistors, it's no big deal.

all waveform were obtint is no load.
Thanks for the tips!

Last modifications!
Remove capatitors on igbt, primary side snubbers R=25ohm, C=4.7nF
schematic driver http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1682/63788787.jpg
Video whit waveform at secondary whit mini-loud YouTube - SMPS
Multimeter 1 = V out
Multimeter 2 = I in at 300Vcc
Multimeter 3 = V in 300Vcc separator transformer 220 to 220
What is your opinion?,
Why can not decrease V-out more then 19V?

best thing I can think of is to check the voltage on input pin and what ever the other is for reference

Did you apply a load yet?
