A few people have asked me what , if any , mods I made to the control board to drive igbts. The answer is none! I did however use the circuit below in place of the normal gate resistor. The purpose is to help the igbt turn off quicker and overcome the "miller knee". If i were doing it again I would change the dc dc converter to one with a 15v output as this is how igbts like to be driven. That said the 12v version seems to work fine on mine. Very low switching losses. Just friday I pumped 250 battery amps through the controller on a hill climb while on the way to see Ireland's answer to Chip Foose
The heatsink went from 6c to 8c!

Now, Cole, when you shift the gear and that little needle on the ammeter goes into the red and reads 2000 Amps, that's bad.
