Req: 0 to 300V/ 6A Regulated DC power supply

[itp]

Hi all,

Can anybody suggest a Circuit diagram for a 0 to 300V/ 6A  variable DC Regulated power supply. Linear or switching power supply configurations are acceptable for our work .

Thanks & Regards

The simplest way for this is use phase angle control on single phase ac . This will give you the option to control from 0 to max 320v dc almost for 220 ac. while its currant limits will depend on the components you select for it. This way is capable of providing hundreds of ampere. so a currant limiter circuit may be added to fulfill all types of needs,

Look at item # (PS) EP01300-1         0 -300Vdc 0-10Amps Power supply at https://www.surplussales.com/PowerSupplies/PowerSListed-1.html
 they are asking $500.00. It will cost you more to build it.

Dear kreutz,

Thanks for your reply.  I would like to make my own for our laboratory use as well for learning purpose.

do you know how to design magnetics?  I think you will have a hard time doing this without a custom inductor (transformer would be better to isolate from mains).

High voltage MOSFETs or IGBTs will be needed for your switch elements

If you want to go from zero to 300V I'd probably try to do a SEPIC converter maybe, using rectified and filtered mains for the input. I can't recall if a SEPIC is easily converted to a transformer design or not.

Flyback converter might also work for you (again can't remember it well enough).

For your magnetics I'd look at UR64 cores.  They are big and cheap for the amount of power you can put through them.
