I'm having a tough time visualizing how this might work so I thought I'd pose the idea to the resident geniuses of eng-tips :D
Each phase in the typical multiphase buck converter has its own inductor which then feeds a common output capacitor while a single control loop adjusts the duty cycle...
Sorry about wandering over from the circuit engineering section, but something occurred to me that I could not find the answer to using google...
If all motors can be generators (and I can clearly understand how even an induction motor can be a generator - simply apply a lower frequency to it...
Or know any good ones? We are applying for several "renewable energies" grants and one of the things the require is a third-party (i.e. - consultant) to provide a list of the equipment needed and how to lay it out for producing the product. In other words, we need to have an independent...
And on a totally related note to my other post... anyone home-brewed their own Rogowski current probe? I got really excited about the CWT series from PEM - you can uncouple the loop and slip it in between the legs of a TO-220 part to measure, eg., drain current! - but wasn't too excited about...
Basically just looking for feedback here on the quality level and how far said IGBTs deviate from the datasheet specs (ie - says it will handle 60A at Tc = 100C but lets out the magic smoke at 40A, etc...). I'm mainly interested in non-punch-through (NPT) or "field stop" IGBTs for easy...
Hey all. I got roped into building an RF power amplifier for a physics professor friend and I wanted some second opinions on which way to go with the design. The amplifier needs to deliver up to 300Vpp and 100W across the frequency range of 0.1 to 1 MHz into a purely capacitive load...
