Whats In The Boxes?! – Isolation, Day 40

Sorting boxes, sorting containers and generally just a good way to reuse old packaging materials for storage solutions. The black suitcase like boxes comes from a special calibrated sensor and the small drawers are from fuses for mains electrical panels. How many mystery boxes do you have in your work shop?

70 kV / 65 kW X-Ray System, Transformer and Inverter – Isolation, Day 12

I give an overview of a 65kW X-ray generator system for a 70 kV X-ray transformer. The full-bridge of 400A 1200V IGBT bricks makes for a powerful inverter to drive the ferrite cored high voltage transformer.

Induction Heater Power Film Capacitors – Isolation, Day 6

A walk-through of different types of power capacitors that can be used in induction heater applications, ceramic, MICA, various types of film capacitors and extremely large internally water cooled power capacitors are demonstrated. 2 years back I bought a large lot of induction heater capacitors. Buy a 815 KVAr capacitor by contacting me here: https://highvoltageforum.net/index.php?topic=56.0

MMC: So Many Large Power Film Capacitors – Isolation, Day 4

MKP Power Film Capacitors plays a vital role in almost all power electronics applications. Either as filter, spike suppression or resonant energy storage. 3 years back I bought a large lot of MKP Power Film Capacitors. These will be used in a very large DRSSTC along with the IGBTs from day 3 video and film

25x 350uF/1500V Film Capacitors – Isolation, Day 2

A while back I received a large lot of capacitors that I got for a fair price, just had to buy enough to get the per item cost of shipping down to an acceptable level. The base price per capacitor is more than reasonable in the first place, just a mere 1€ a piece! I

Teardown of Danfoss VLT6000 4kW Variable Frequency Drive

A teardown of a Danfoss VLT6000 4kW VFD, a run down of the current paths in the system and I show which parts I find to have a value. Check out some of my other Variable frequency drive teardown videos, like this 10 kW drive! Datasheet on the unit: https://www.danfoss.com/en/products/ac-drives/dds/vlt-and-vacon-legacy-drives/vlt-6000/#tab-overview

AC vs DC fuses, High Current, Explosive Destructive Testing and Theory

This is a introduction to the differences between AC and DC fuses. I also use a high voltage / current discharge capacitor for a destructive test of the two difference fuses. You should also check out how ingenious high voltage fuses are made in this article Teardown of a medium voltage fuse (7200 V /
