Ok guys this is my guess and observation to the purpose of the 220 ohm resistor in parallel with the primary coil. I think its to match impedance during "Off" time, gating!
Secondary Coil: 72.4 ohms
L1 Coil: 76.7 ohms
L2 Coil: 70.1 ohms
Total Resistance = Sec+L1+L2
Total Resistance = 72.4 + 76.7 + 70.1
Total Resistance = 219.2 ohms
As for pulse "ON" time, the frequency will do the impedance matching for the VIC Transformer.
