Okay, I think the schematic is fine, but I'm having trouble understanding the voltage source. When I chose a sine wave form, I am assuming it's for AC, so why do they have an adjustment for DC and not just how much voltage overall? I also picked the square wave form, and adjusted it to represent a microwave oven transformer, at first anyway.... I thought it would oscillate since the source is, but it doesn't. Of course I really don't have an excuse for asking the community for help, so I'm not per se... However, if you are so inclined, any input would be great! Eventually, I plan to use a set up similar to this for running one of my Tesla coils. I will put two in series, either floating ground, running one leg into a voltage multiplier, and the other output as the other leg, Or wire them as one transformer with the ground end that is attached to the core left alone, and simply weld both cores together, and use the other end as the second leg. I bench tested that configuration and I get thick blinding arcs that you need hearing protection for!. But i can't seem to repeat these results on this simulator though. It kills diodes and capacitors, so I went with Custom Electronics mica/silver caps with .0153uF rated for 20,000 volts X6, and special diode modules that seem to put up with it well, especially after splitting the cores and adding a thin piece of tagboard between the two halves, drilled and tapped for screws so I could thereby manipulate current output.
