I am building a step up transformer for an output of 100 kV, 50 mA, at 50 kHz. <!-- Begin schematic: In order to preserve an editable schematic, please don't edit this section directly. Click the "edit" link below the image in the preview instead. --> ![schematic](https://i.sstatic.net/A5ewm.png) <!-- End schematic --> For that I have planned to use a half bridge circuit with a ferrite transformer. However to test the circuit I am putting 30 V DC across a half bridge input. I am using a TLP350 as a Gate driver. I am using 10 Ω resistor as a *gate turn on* resistance, and a 1N5822 as a *turn off* diode for gate driver. [![Lower side IGBT gate voltage][1]][1] This is my lower side IGBT gate voltage, the probe directly connected at IGBT legs. 15 V. The probe is in 10X mode... [![Half bridge output][2]][2] This is my half bridge output, load is a 60 Watt 12 Volt car headlight. [![Voltage spike/overshoot at the leg of lower side IGBT][3]][3] **This is my issue, a voltage spike/overshoot at the leg of lower side IGBT. Probe is connected in emitter and collector pin. Collector pin referenced to emitter**. This waveform taken without the snubber circuits. My question is how I can reduce the spike at the IGBT's collector emitter pin? [![Test setup][4]][4] This is my test setup for now. I have a **2 µf, 2 kV snubber** cap close to half bridge IGBTs. **10 kΩ** resistor connected in gate and emitter at both IGBT to reduce accidental turn on. I am using **IHW40N65R5** IGBT with **DSEI60-12A** diode with each IGBT. [![Lower side IGBT collector emitter voltage with snubber][5]][5] After I put the snubber circuit my lower side IGBT collector emitter voltage look like this, spike reduced but little ringing happening now... Is that ok? Can I power up my circuit up to high voltage DC? Like 300 Volt DC?
