[OT] where to buy IGBT transistors in ke
I want to build a solid state Tesla coil. yeah, the spark gap is making my house smell like a welding workshop. i kinda think that now that prii (many prius) are around i can get high voltage *IGBT<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_gate_bipolar_transistor> s* much easily. am i the only coder who lurks in here like an electrician hobbyist or is there a local forum for electricians?
Hello @Gisho, incase the Prius cars show plenty of reliability, your nearest hope is this : http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=IGBT+transistor&sra=oss . btw, when you get the shipment of these when you order them, they will come in anti-static cases. What you need to do then is get this too http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=wrist+strap&sra=oss so that they don't get damaged when you assemble the components. BEFORE USE ensure you get a proper certified electrician from KPLC who has done the earthing checks between the soldering station and your work area.

am doing "dark electricity" so the last person i can allow in my house is a "KPLC" guy. anyway, landlord has allowed me to do a separate earthing so no harm to anyone taking a shower just in case i was doing my HV (over 15000vac/vdc) experiments. a few blasts have happened but that's normal for capacitors to blow up. Thanx, checking them out. On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 7:19 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:

Hahaha..dark electricity! And electrolytic capacitors going off? hohoho...sounds pretty serious stuff going :-) You are going to need a static discharge circuit if you are working on 15000volts. This means ensure all the devices share a common connection and that you can "bury" a small copper slab/rod ( a trip to congo? ) into the ground. I've forgotten the depth of the copper requirement, but kplc enginners here should be your guide. Incase you have access to a 1-2MegaWatt power plant through your contacts, check out how they bury the copper first then mount the huge diesel engines over the plates. This is helpful in in many situations as the potential difference can cause serious problems.\ Here a simple must read for you.

this is what i want to achieve with this project. http://drsstc.com/ -- -erastus +254733725373 tweet fast and free globally via USSD dial +44 203 355 8505 - by ussdtweet|messaging365 Nairobi Kenya On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 8:03 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
