I am intending to build a ZVS type flyback driver but cannot obtain suitable IGBTs or MOSFETs.
Also if there is anyone who can advise me of any problems I would greatly appreciate it.
I am in the process of building a low voltage ZVS driver using 3055s and have an output
of 24 v

Hey Mads,

Those look to be made by Intersil, are they authentic in your opinion? I have been hesitant to order any FETs/IGBT's fom Asia as I do not want to get stuck with 100 fakes chips. Based on your coils they do seem to be authentic, just looking for a confirm though.


Best Regards,
brtaman

It is IRFP460s from Thai shop ec I have used in all my coils, having pushed 3000W through a fullbridge of these in CW mode makes them seem very legit :)

I sent Conner a few samples and he compared/measured them against some assured legit ones, there was no difference in electrical properties.

Thanks for that. I salvage most of my parts but I will have to order some from my local hobby shop(I can't buy stuff
over the net).
