Apr 17, 2021 at 20:08 comment added tehwalrush Ratio is 1:6, with the feedback coil having less turns
Apr 17, 2021 at 20:07 comment added Math Keeps Me Busy If the coils "looks like a coil around the original inductor", then the coils will have a coupling factor close to 1. Do you know the turns ratio?

Apr 17, 2021 at 19:46 comment added Unimportant @tehwalrush You don't need a function generator, you need a oscilloscope. Without one it's hard to tell what exactly is happening. Possibilities are exceeding gate voltage and excessive power dissipation in the device.

Apr 17, 2021 at 19:36 comment added tehwalrush winny - is there a way I could do so without purchasing a function generator? Again, I am limited in the data I can provide
Apr 17, 2021 at 19:33 comment added tehwalrush Math Keeps Me Busy - thank you for pointing that out, and my apologies. Still learning :)
Apr 17, 2021 at 19:29 comment added Math Keeps Me Busy If you actually used a IXFB110N60P3, then the symbol you are using in your schematic is incorrect. The symbol in your schematic is for an NPN BJT.
