High power, high speed switching into resistive (heating element) load

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

Hello,

     can someone guide me on the best or simplest way to control the power supplied to a heating element(s).

     Power in range up to 10kW, voltage AC to 300VAC or rectified to DC.

I was thinking of using an IGBT module or a power Mosfet module and controlling with a PWM signal with a frequency of 10-20kHz.

Will this work, any and all assistance welcome please.

    How about Farnell part number 1305681 ? RELAY, SOLID STATE, PA, 50A/230V http://uk.farnell.com/celduc/so445420/relay-solid-state-pa-50a-230v/dp/1305681 This is a phase angle controller (will generate quiet a bit on electrical noise, EMI), ideally a Burst fire comtroller would be better (zero cross over) but cannot see one. You control the heating using a Analog Input : 4-20mA. Regards Malcolm
