So here's what i am thinking:
a single TO-220 DN2540 on a 200v supply. 60-80mA and a 5K:8 transformer load. 10ohm source resistor. Cap across source resistor?
unsure of power output or even if this is feasible?
thoughts?
I am looking to do a small 1 transistor / mosfet amp.
Thanks!

With 200v supply and 60mA you will fry the Fet; check maximum dissipation.
Don't go beyond some 5 watts of dissipation with a TO-220 part.

The TO-220 has a 15W dissipation limit. If i go to about 75% of that or 10-12W would that work?
thinking 150v supply. 60 mA to 80mA.
If i do 3 DN2540 in parallel.. could use a Edcor 1.25K:8 output transformer. might get 10W output power.
Even with a decent heatsink you would not go above 5W on the 220?

Correct.
100V@50mA with 1k:8 would get ~1watt of output and be doable for 1 device.

on that last diagram... why the diode and zener on the primary of the output?
does anyone have the ability to simulate this circuit?

That's to prevent voltage spikes from the OPT destroying the fet.on that last diagram... why the diode and zener on the primary of the output?

Same as on the schematic from elvee, but there it is a VDR.

Here is the result, using your data + half-realistic parameters: output power 2W for 3%THD, nominal sensitivity 500mV rms.does anyone have the ability to simulate this circuit?
Nice harmonic profile, typical of SE (discounting the transformer's distortions).
Note that I find 200V uncomfortably high, but if the DN withstands it, why not.
I kept the dissipation in the DN at <6W, which means R1=27Ω, not 10, but insisting on 10Ω would either mean serious complications or a much higher dissipation in the MOS, none of which is desirable for such a simplistic circuit.

It wasn't 10 but 16 Ω proposed and 150V supply to keep things on the safe side 😉I kept the dissipation in the DN at <6W, which means R1=27Ω, not 10, but insisting on 10Ω would either mean serious complications or a much higher dissipation in the MOS, none of which is desirable for such a simplistic circuit.

I complied as strictly as possible with the customer's initial specifications; occupational bias probably...😀It wasn't 10 but 16 Ω proposed and 150V supply to keep things on the safe side 😉
