[QUOTE="MakeshiftAudio, post: 6591862, member: 608963"] Yeah, you're pretty much on the spot unless you get into using hexfets with anything... The darned things practically need a special driver for themselves due to their fall time... Ah, yes! The high voltage stuff. IGBTs are better suited for the higher voltage stuff anyways. It's not often that you see a high voltage fet that's decently cheap. I know of some IGBTs that are rated for 3.4kV. As a hobby earlier on in my electrical love life I messed with high voltage. IE solid state tesla coils, RF power supplies, and whatnot. Ozone is usually a thing that HV tinkerers love to smell... Before it, you know, damages things so that you can't smell it anymore sort of thing. A 5kW CW RF supply openly discharging through the air with a 2' discharge fills the house with ozone quickly I might add. I've also worked on class C armstrongs and E transmitters. Interesting stuff... Tubes are fun to mess with too, though most forget about them. Haha. *Drags out the forced water cooled 80kW RF triode.* Yeah... Techs vs Engineers... Yeah... Not fun grounds for the techs... Maybe? Just maybe? :P Anytime, just ask if you want to.
