Greg, et al,
Can you email me or post somewhere what your "reconfiguration charging
schematic" basically looks like and what I am assuming is a diode chain that
acts something like a transient suppressor. I assume you still incorporate
an RF coil. I must assume the way Richie Burnett first drew his do and don't
configurations has changed and it would be very useful to graphically know
how. Nothing ruins the day more than "letting the smoke out".
Thank much,
Jim Mora

Hi Bert, Stefan,
The L-diode filter is a great way to filter DC links, since it provides
heavy damping with low losses and virtually no Q. It's analogous to a
shock absorber in a car suspension... the diff-eqs are quite similar.
The event that drove me to switch to an L-diode filter was finding a
bunch of molded 45kV diode stacks in the scrapyard. :D
Cheers,
Greg
