Why not use the new polarized capacitor for the 100μF cap?

Not sure I understand...

I was just thinking that since there’s now a polarized capacitor component you could use it since most 100μF caps are polarized. It wouldn’t make any difference in the functionality but it’ll be more accurate.

It won't be more accurate and there isn't any polarized cap in EC unless they push an update. (Muzemaze did tell me a while ago that they were working on an update so)

Well, I got an update and my latest two circuits include polarized capacitors.

I notice that sometimes updates appear and say they’re from 2 or 3 days ago despite the update not being there an hour ago, so I suppose updates can take a few says to reach everyone.

It will be more accurate to real life in terms of which components are used, but not in terms of behavior since they’re simulated as non-polar (or is it bipolar?) capacitors with the only difference being the symbol and catching fire with voltages exceeding -1V.

Yeah, I don't have the update yet

BTW, losses in the scrubber are extremely high. Currently working on a lossless solution.

What’s the scrubber?

thebugger

The RCD network from the drain of the MOSFET to suppress high voltage peaks when the transistor sharply discontinues to provide a current path for the coil.

Typical solutions are as the one here, in my new example I found a somewhat lossless snubber which seems to work waaay better than the one here.

I see.
