There are multiple things I did forget to add. Read description for more. Timestamps and subtitles included. Thanks a lot for watching! I hope you were able to achieve your dreams of owning a powerful IGBT driver to be able to do anything you want! Use them as a "VFD" for AC motors etc especially! AC is AC. Now, have fun with them! Technically, it took me TWO YEARS to finally make this video. (But actually a month and a half to make this video, it's mostly the voice overs that I had to do.)
Looks like you rectified the AC to DC using diodes and huge capacitors, I would imagine your neighbors' AC waveforms, All flattened near the peaks, due to your capacitors only drawing (astonishingly high) current near the AC peaks. Great time to learn about Active Power Factor correction.
Ehh. I use a variac to control voltage, so not really. It still draws quite a bit of current, I can feel/hear my smaller variac whining as I increase the voltage a little quicker. It stops when I stop.
Thank you! That is so cool, and if you see this comment I wanted to ask you something. So I am the crazy MOT kid who didn’t know how to wire a MOT and thought you could see “HHO” and started fights in your discord. Since then I have apologized to all the people in your discord. They have taught me the basis of basics of electronics, and I have built Tesla coils and made my own flyback transformer. I was wondering if I could get back in your discord?
Have you tried one of SG3525 driver boards with an op-amp and optocoupler feedback loop for your full bridge? There are many versions of them on aliexpress, they are cheap, mostly similiar circuits, and allows to use frequencies from tens to hundreads of khz. I am wondering how to use one of them in HV PSU to get a stabilized, regulated output with constant voltage/ constant current option, for x-ray experiments.
Why do you seem to like series resonant half bridges? With parallel resonant half bridges with DC blocking capacitors the IGBTs don’t need to handle the entire resonant current.
My only real question...why do you need this 😂 just like watching plasma ? Or are you going to build something of your own desgine that requires this or just more tesla coil stuff thats all over the net, maybe long range radio or something ? Dont get me wrong, im an engineering student so i understand the importance of lessons in this. Im just asking whats your personal goals with this project 😂 This type of shit is a 1 way ticket to jesus 😂
@@trenthighvoltage hfvttc bro🙏🙏🙏🙏 at least explain how that works. Pleasee. Especially about the resonator, how the flame appears and how it oscillates(i dont get how a grid cap discharges)
This video was put together really well, I was able to pick up some idea of how these work. Been very lazy to figure these out on my own, this makes it understandable. I bet it took ages to edit, but this was good enough to keep me to the end!
@VariacManiac you'll need a gdt, sstc are a couple hundred kHz or less depending on how big. If it's a small sstc you'll need smaller igbts for much higher frequencu
That was awesome, I see a lot of work went it to making it definitely thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍 A few years ago I built a SLR full bridge converter with TO-247 IGBTs, works to this day! One day I want to build a bigger driver!!!!!
The SG3525 oscillator has a rating range of 100hz to 400kHz. It could do as low as a few Hz, and as high as 550+ kHz as far as I can remember. You need IGBT bricks or smaller packages that can switch at that high frequency.
That is awesome, I'm inspired to continue with the hobby, i was not touching it for more than a year now. I want to build some big ass HF arc generator. Thanks a lot. You are a rock star!
Pls make sure you ARE using a genuine 3525A or better still a 3525B...& not just 3525.... The " B" version is the upgrade of the "A"..whilst the original was just 3525..... Check all 3 datasheets to compare differences....You may want to look up the ML4818 controller... This has dead time built into 4 dedicated outputs and is current mode controlled , unlike the3525 voltage mode chip.. The 4818 is ideal for resonant topology.
@@trenthighvoltage I will watch your video 50 times and not be the gangsta you are with high voltage. It took you years to get this good. Keep up the excellent work! Bummer, I can't buy something close to your fantastic circuit.
i dont dislike the video or anything, i thinks its good and talks about whats going on, i just think that you may need to invest the time into a script. i feel like you realised a bunch of mistakes while cutting, and decided to fix it in post, it feels like there too many jumpcuts
@AZhang728 why wouldn't you want to use a full bridge rectifier? Get full wave and more pure dc? Do whatever you want, I don't see why you.would want to use a single diode or something

Very good Trent, a lot of good information in there for first time builders 👍😎
thanks appreciate it

Not sure where you're getting that from, I haven't ever done a series resonant.
What about combining two high power module to make a high current unit.
yes thank you for this video
:)

I built it for different transformers to drive at different frequencies. I've pulled 8ft xray transformer arcs with it.
Will I be able to use this for induction heating also, If so, I would like to purchase driver boards from you, I'm tired of building drivers.
Yes you can, just drive it at high frequency ac that's all you need
breezetix, when video with cs2?
RAAAAAAH🦅🦅🦅🦅Where did you take that big ass ferrite core? Is that u86 or something? Bro i would be so grateful if you explained how a hfvttc works.
They were just cheap 3c80 ferrite cores. Bought from Mads lundbaek (kaiser power electronics). $15 per 4 I believe. They're not very good
@@trenthighvoltage hfvttc bro🙏🙏🙏🙏 at least explain how that works. Pleasee. Especially about the resonator, how the flame appears and how it oscillates(i dont get how a grid cap discharges)

Welcome man. Build one and drive your 60hz transformers with it, id be interested to see it!
@@trenthighvoltage I'll have to give it a try, may even use it for a solid state coil, will make a great vid!

@Alexelectricalengineering Good to see you ther
@@Traper_T How are you doing, I didn't hear from you for some while?
are this driver ok for driving tesla coil at 150kHZ?
The SG3525 oscillator has a rating range of 100hz to 400kHz. It could do as low as a few Hz, and as high as 550+ kHz as far as I can remember. You need IGBT bricks or smaller packages that can switch at that high frequency.
where do you get hold of the huge transfo core?
they arent that huge, and those ferrite cores are pretty weak and old probably from the 1990s. You're better off with n87 or pc40 or others
Great video I need to do this ⚡️⚡️ Great work👍👍
thanks
@@trenthighvoltage I was wondering why you used buck for each optic coupler?
@@ArcAngelTeslaCoil wdym?
@@trenthighvoltagedo you know the part number or were you got the wide body 3190 opto coupler sockets ? Thanks
Hey, thanks for this. Nice explain about control igbt H bridge and half bridge. Just where do you find isolated dc-dc? ( îm french sry)
he just used transformer
Custom transformer with isolated coils.

Hate this AI voice

yeah its annoying some times
hey man i been around on and off since your hvh cs days, glad to see someone from the hvh scene actually do something with their life
I didnt really hvh all the time. glad I quit that community
Finally the vid is here really nice bro
"Air fryer wasn't done yet." Hahaha!
lol
Hey bro - take care ! U are soo usefull
But what can you say about TVS diodes? (on G-E or C-E)
They're optional, probably recommended. On g-e. C-e it doesn't really do much. I don't use them
Trent, can you send me an invite to the discord server? Thx! ☺️
great video, thank you
nice work och ....
YAY NEW VIDEO WOOOOOO
This is whole invertors theory lesson
ah the real plasma king
Finally the vid is here really nice bro
Great job! You are a fantastic teacher. Is there a place where I can buy this circuit already built?
No, not really. Just build your own tbh it's not difficult or complicated. That way you actually learn everything about it and what you need to do etc

I did use scripts.
@@trenthighvoltage okay but you do have to agree that the video is a little jumpy? :P
@@contomo5710 that's how I edit my videos. I like to keep my videos nice and short if I can to save viewers time. If you don't like it, then too bad
@@trenthighvoltage i didnt intend to offend.
sorry about that
nice work mate.
Thanks 👍
why do you need a bridge rectifier? cant any rectifier work
You need ac to dc rectifier to igbts. If you're using batteries or pure dc from supplies, you don't need it and the caps
@@trenthighvoltage why does it have to be bridge though
@@Tsindur wdym? You want a full bridge rectifier to convert ac to dc into the igbts.
@@trenthighvoltage you can just use single diode or 2 diode full wave rectifier though why does it need to be full bridge
@AZhang728 why wouldn't you want to use a full bridge rectifier? Get full wave and more pure dc? Do whatever you want, I don't see why you.would want to use a single diode or something
