Hello guys..
I am currently trying to build a 3.5KW basic buck converter as an experiment. I calculated the inductors, and capacitors , then simulated in MATLAB ...I am not planning any closed loop control for the time being(may be later)...So i need to chop the input voltage into half(dutycycle=50%).....The losses due to hard switching or absence of isolation is not a problem in this experiment. Can you suggest me a power electronic switch and gate driver for it to fullfill this experiment.(Does anyone having experience with siC mosfet and any associated gate driver )
Ratings:
Vin =650V
Vout=325V
power rating 3.5KW
(I have attached the closed loop buck converter which i simulated after open loop buck converter...Simulation is okay....But need advice for hardware)
