Log 5 isn’t ready for posting yet, but a lot of stuff has gone on in the past couple of weeks. I wanted to give a quick sneak peak of the front panel though because it’s looking pretty good for the most part. In the panel are two LCD volt and amp meters which I bought […]

Wow, things have been going pretty good with this SMPS project. A lot of things are moving forward. I picked up a cabinet that I can use to house the power supply. I also received the 3 printed circuit board designs back from OSH Park this week and started building the PWM controller, drivers and primary […]

Large Switched DC Power Supply For Argon Laser Project Log 1
I’m in need of a large DC power supply for an argon laser and other projects. Argon lasers require tons of DC power to produce minimal amounts of output power, thus the power supply needs to be pretty beefy and durable. I also like building things and having projects to work on to help keep […]

Last week I was out shopping at one of my electronic resources and came across some big Mitsubishi CM200DY-12H 600 Volts 200 Amp IGBTs. I bought two pairs of them for my future projects. Below is a picture of a pair of them on the nicely machined heatsink. The overall length of the heatsink is about […]
