IGBT driver board

[KUSAW]

is it also can be used for 1KA DC controller?

control board is pretty universal - you just need to swap out the sensor for higher current one and use a different driver (designed for IGBTs, with negative bias).

You can then attach an IGBT power stage to it. You power will be limited by your ability to design a high-current power stage (which is far from trivial but can be done).

I just finished Paul&sabrina 144V/500A DC controller. Now I am preparing to next with IGBT. I have 2 hitachi 1200V/1200A. I would like to buy 2 PCB and BOM.

hi Paul,
so sorry, US custom returned the Coffe Luwak and the other traditionally Bali, Sumatera and Java blend...haha, the reason is because I have no export permit for coffe...hahaha, now I am repost it, coffe luwak only...hope this time works...sorry for that.
So many thanks for the PCB, its arrived already 2 weks ago while I am away from home for duty trip....
kind regards,
Kukuh Saworo (KUSAW).

mrbigh,
paypal is on the way...........
thank you very much

It's no problem, Kukuh!!

I have PCB on hand, parts kit not at the moment............

Have you published the schematics?
We have been looking at the same mod at the Milwaukee Makerspace and are thinking of going 1 step further and re-designing the openrevolt board with both MOSFET and IGBT drivers laid out.

It is published at the Powerex website, under the files of VLA500-01.
It might be published also in the wiki with Paul's PCB layout.
It is a very simple schematic and parts count.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if you had added/removed anything from the data sheet design.

Are you keeping the clamping diodes from the MOSFETs or using something else with the IGBT?

What are you doing with the fault output?

No clamping diodes from the Mosfets are being used and the IGBT board/circuit contains all necessary parts to drive both VLA500-01.
Faults are being detected in the controllers software as per Paul's design.
