Default GK71 B+ turn on delay

Hi folks.

Building power supply I`ve reached one difficulty. How to solve turn on delay circuit - switching element. Biggest problem is unavaliability of high voltage relays, most of scr`s or triacs reaches 600-800V and thats it. In short time ill try to put some schematics so We can think about solution. Maybe series connection of two scr`s or triacs ? ..

Well,

what kind of voltage level do we talk here?

Short of ideas ? try this. Obviously modify for higher voltages and reset. loads of possibilities. Don't use coolMos. They have poorly designed gates and will oscillate.

looks ok, there are lots of possibilities, but kk84 seems in the need of something that is capable of switching much higher voltages, as the normal FET, Triac or Thyristor ratings seem to low for him?

My take a very high Voltages: use a Filament-transformer and a High-Voltage Transformer and do a staggered turn on, so you only need to switch the primary side...

Hey.

Thanks for reply, sorry for My absence . Of course issue was high voltage switching element in B+ power supply, switchung voltage of 1100V. Already found an thyrystor capable of handling such high voltage , here`s datasheet :

http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datashe...S/TYN1225.html

SCR driven in classic aplication with Ug = 12V, Rg = 33R. In short time i`ll post schematics of working power supply.

Have a nice evening all.
