Does the 1GBT operate the same as a Mosfet?
I took an existing mosfet circuit and put the 1GBT in the circuit, will this work?
Before I go to the trouble of doing the math I need to make sure this circuit will work. I am going to use water cooled 1/2" copper tubing as wire. The circuit will be self contained in a case with no power supply transformer. My 225 amp Lincoln stick welder will be the power supply transformer. Pump, radiator and cooling fans will keep the induction heater circuit cool. I have 600 amp 600 volt diodes to convert welder AC to DC. I also have 800A 600V diodes but dont think they are needed.
When I need to use the induction heater I will clamp the welder cables to the terminals on the back side of the induction heater then set the amp load on the welder with the selector switch.
I am not sure the 1N5819 diodes are correct for this 1GBT circuit?
I also need to determine the corrent resistor value for the gate circuit?
I need to calculate the correct choke uh and experement building a large choke coil that will work?
I may need to put the power supply capacitors and rectifiers in a seperate case with cooling the capacitors will take up a lot of space.
I want this circuit to be bullet proof. All the parts need to be over kill and cooled. Induction coils will attaching to the front of the unit with brass and copper tubing fittings. I have some high power water cooled resistors 1 ohm and 10 ohms I'm not sure if I can use these. The cooling system will be filled with transformer oil.
What is gate current on this 1BGT ?
