Power electronics guy, building stuff for DoW, soup enjoyer

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

Take Dr. Erickson’s Coursera courses to start with fundamentals. Start building, small. 20W-50W. Work your way up. It’s an intersection of everything electrical, and lots to learn, years and years.

Don’t beat yourself up for not knowing a ton starting out. I still barely know anything and I’ve been in it for 4-5 years, I started later in my career. kW converters are no joke, they come with their own unique problems.

You’ll get there, never stop building.

@zackslab @i2cjak Yes they’re getting there first sure

Oh shit 10kW LLC what for?

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@zackslab @i2cjak How did you set up your gate drive?

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

Different topology for us though. High voltage high power application.

GaN is great for low voltage stuff, they just don’t merit implementation in a high voltage power stage yet. They need to optimize the material further for lower RDSon at higher VDSmax.

I’m not a physicist or chemist or any of that other retard shit though. Not my job. So, SiC it is

@zackslab @i2cjak Based

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@zackslab @i2cjak Match your output inductors. Match your output paths. We’re having trouble with this right now at work, different topology but same concept. It’s a bitch to debug

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@zackslab @i2cjak Nice. What’s the junction to ambient on the FETs for that package? Just curious

COTS magnetics?

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@zackslab @i2cjak Any updates?

@Stronghold850 @powerus_usa Bad OPSEC I guess but w/e

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@Stronghold850 @powerus_usa Nice I’ll be starting there next week in FWB. I see you work with Anduril as well, impressive

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@i2cjak Boost converter people are also on top

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@bscholl DC bus available off the trailer or at point of load?

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@i2cjak Checks out

@zackslab I used to have those at an old job they’re so much heavier than they look

[singlebeansoup @singlebeansoup]

@zackslab There’s a lesson in this
