I'm thinking of building a solid state 1500 watt amp using some of MicroSemi's high voltage MOSFETs. This is a new kind of project for me and I would appreciate any comments you might have which woul

Well, if nothing else, this project proves that you have guts (I used a different word, but remembered that this list is moderated)! Why such a large capacitor for the power supply? Surely 680 uf, on

ORIGINAL MESSAGE: (may be snipped) REPLY: Why such a large capacitor? 6800 uF with an eight amp drain gives about a 1.5 % ripple. 680 uF would be ten times more and I think that's too much. By compar

I'm thinking of water cooling. I'm thinking of running a full wave bridge rectifier directly off the 240 VAC line, thus eliminating the power transformer and giving about 340 VDC no-load. Sounds like

Sounds like what the State of Alabama uses to dispatch hardened criminals..... Water cooling is nice, but you are probably going to need either DI or distilled water at those voltages and water cooli

Hi Bill, I had an amp using the MRF1500 parts, based on the commercial Tokyo high power design. I also talked to the THP guys for a while at Dayton and they are phasing out their ARF1500 design using

Seems to me the 50V limit would be a deal breaker. I love the idea of a transformerless design. I wonder if the THP problems were really the devices, as opposed to a design glitch they never figured

FWIW, cooling 750 watt parts is going to be a PITA. All the more so if you use two of them push-pull on the same amplifier module / board. Water will help, but only somewhat, and has been mentioned i

Tokyo High power have marketed one of these and there is a paper in QST that you might use as starters. I would recommend going with the ARF 1501 with a 1200 VDC drain rating just to be on the safe s

The high value of capacitance is required for dynamic regulation: you have jumps in the current from about 2A quiescent to about 10 or 12 Amp at full output. Remember, the output impedance is quite c
