first zvs driver+induction coil/heater HOT! please help
I am making my first zvs driver and when I got it "finished" all it did was get my inductor and mosfets hot, the screwdriver I had in the heater did nothing. I killed the power before any damage was done, I hope. My mosfets are 2 IRFP250n's and im powering it with a 12V 4A battery charger. My capacitor is from a microwave, 0.80μf and 2100V AC, is this too big?
I am new to most of this so just assume I know nothing. I won't be offended. I am open to all suggestions and will put a few pics up tomorrow. ![]() ![]()

I just changed the inductor to 4 0f these in parallel.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120998332098...84.m1439.l2649 Still doesn't work. the mosfets climb to 130F very fast but my screw stays cool. |

Ok my caps came in the mail today so I switched the monster cap for 3- 1μf 250v in series. My inductors are no longer getting hot but the caps get a "little warm" and the mosfets still get HOT. I can tell its working now though, got a piece of a coat hanger up to 100F but the mosfets were way hotter so I killed the power.
Other than heatsinks(I'm waiting for my thermal grease) is there something I can change to keep the mosfets from burning up? |
