I have assembled my high voltage generation section on the board, and I learnt a hard lesson again of not being over confident. I burnt a couple of mosfets all due to dead time, I keep on wondering why the Mosfet was burning, I had to remove nearly all components on board, before finding the issue. The issue was just a wrong dead time resistor, I used 10 ohms instead of 22R. The first video above shows the a smaller dead time, which leads to stress and possibly overshoot, observe closely you see the current drawn is higher. Whereas on the second video, after changing to 22 ohms, deadtime increases, current drawn is less, no burnt Mosfet so far.<:8637blabbering:1140055047187746857>
