Scrap Yard IGBTs and MOSFETs from Solar Inverters, Welding Machines and Induction Cookers

A look at a bag of IGBTs and MOSFETs that I quickly salvaged from industrial electronics. Found in induction cookers, solar inverters, welding machines, car and battery charges. It can also be other common high power electronics with switching inverters. Discussion of salvaging IGBTs/MOSFETs: https://highvoltageforum.net/index.php?topic=2117.0 These TO-247 IGBTs can be used in a DRSSTC Tesla

Washing Machine Motor Burnout and Controller Teardown

I lost my washing machine to the flooding of the basement. I wanted to indulge in the famous Photonicinduction experiment of throwing a large rock into a running washing machine and let it dance for the internet to enjoy. It did not exactly go like that. The motor controller and driver is a Bitron Electrolux
