AI Thread Summary
For a 1200W DC/AC inverter project to run a small induction motor, selecting the right IGBT transistors and drivers is crucial. The user has successfully generated a sine PWM signal using a PIC18F2331 microcontroller but seeks guidance on suitable transistors and their drivers. It's emphasized that inverter design involves more than just choosing transistors, suggesting that a comprehensive tutorial could be beneficial. A recommended resource for understanding inverter design basics is provided. Proper selection of components is essential for the project's success.

Hello...
i have a small project in the university concerning sine wave dc/ac inverter.
i want to run a small induction motor, so the maximum power of the inverter is 1200w.
i did the control part and i generate a sine pwm signal from pic18f2331 microcontroller, but my problem with the IGBT and their drives.. really i don't know which transistor and which drive to choose for my application.
If anyone has information about the type and the data sheet of any transistor and their drives please reply.
thank you

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
