Did the first test today with the 2x2series mosfets halfbridge today.
After some small corrections, everything worked.
one of my BNC T split 3x female adapters fell apart. china junk... luckily I could fix it.
I used a large 1,5mm2 L2 coil which slowed down the impulses to 700nS duration, So I had to pump in a lot more energy to get the impulsed high voltage.
Both the positive and negative impulses worked again. Great to see it.
I dared to crank up the impulse voltage using high amps. I worked around 36kcps
Until I saw a flash at the low side, and I quickly turned it off again. The impulses were around 3000V positive and negative.
One of the gate driver IC's died. And altough I measured the right voltages after wards, I think I also blew one of my isolated DC to DC converters.
I'll have to check what the impulse rating is on those RECOM R12P22005D converters. I bet I went to high. |But hej! it worked!
and I can repair it.
Next test will also be with a heat camera, and slower step up of input power, so I know where the threshold is.
I used 4x mur8100eg per side to block the impulses (4000V max)
L3 was a 4mm2 small coil, close coupled to the Large L2, 1,5mm2
L1 was a "normal" 2,5mm2 coil, loose coupled to L3, 30mm
I also used my new dual channel square wave gen, its a JDS6600-60M from china. No Fan! works great.
First looked at the signal on the scope, tweaked until I had a square wave plus 5 and 0 volt.
also found out the rigol signal that I used before (with horrible Fan) was not 3.5V but 7V. that thing is horrible to control. I'll put it on the shelf for backup (or a second lab)
