Upgrade from my first video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU0KLyCgTHk

Again a 1 quadrant PWM motor controller, made from IGBTs instead of MOSFETs. Also, the upgraded motor - both for my go-kart project.

  • Hi, thanks!

    Actually funny you mention that... This controller is an upgrade *from* MOSFETs :)

    You're right, they do much better at keeping the heat down. Unfortunately they are much worse at surviving! I only have two videos, go check the other out :)

  • Hi. This looks great! Have you considered switching (no pun intended) to MOSFETs instead of IGBT? A few low RDS(on) MOSFETs in parallel should give you plenty of torque while keeping heat down. At 48V bus, they do better than IGBT in most cases.
