Sometimes you need a low voltage power supply of very high currents (hundreds of amperes) - whether for spot welding, heating or melting metals, starting the vehicle engine, or other physical experiments. Such a supply I have now decided to build. Given that I already have a switching power supply 3-60V 40A and 60A 56V power supply, so I desided t

o build a switching inverter that which will change the DC voltage of up to 60V to a smaller voltage to approximately 12V at a higher current. I chose the topology of push-pull that uses a transformer with 5:1 ratio. Voltage regulation (if necessary) and current limit are provided by a source of input voltage. This switching inverter reduces the input voltage of approximately 5:1 ratio minus the lossed and voltage drops (diodes, MOSFETs, winding and conductors resistance), in practice it is up to 6:1. In almost the same rate, thw inverted increases the allowable current. For 40A input source you can get about 200 - 240A. The highest output voltage of this high current switching inverter is about 10-12V. The schematic diagram of the described switching inverter is shown below. Transformer Tr1 has primaries 5+5 turns and secondaries 1+1 turn. Switching is provided by 4 + 4 MOSFETs. I used IXFH50N20 type (50A, 200V, 45mR, Cg = 4400pF). You can use any voltage MOSFETs with Uds 200V (150V) and the least conductive resistance. The speed and smaller capacity (charge) of gate are also not bad. Secondary rectification is provided by two double Schottky diodes MBRP60035CTL (600A, 35V). Ferrite transformer Tr1 has the cross section about 15 x 15 mm. Inductor L1 is formed by 5 iron powder rings threaded on wires. Inductance, radiator and some other parts I got from some old inverter 56V / 5V (hundreds of A), that was used for...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
