Funtions

The Universal Power Supply should provide these functions:

  • Inverter
  • Solid state transformer - 1200V, short range transmission lines - $60 cost of 45 kW transformer. [1]
  • Induction furnace
  • Plasma cutter
  • Welder
  • Laser cutter
  • Charge controller to batteries
  • Power conditioning from a windmill
  • Induction heater
  • Contactor
  • Electric motor speed contoller
  • Stepper motor controller

Part Reduction

What is the minimum number of electronic parts required to build the Universal Power Supply?

  • Arduino
  • An IGBT - choose one that can be scaled extensively, 10kW range (20A x5, 100V
  • Resistors
  • Capacitors
  • Small transformers
  • Current sensors - Hall Effect Sensors
  • Terminal blocks, 50A [2]
  • Wire (8 ga, 55A, 600V) [3]
