Student Work

The purpose of this project was to create a high voltage DC-DC converter for use in inverter applications. Extensive background research was conducted to evaluate existing inverter device functionality. Multiple prototypes were constructed to characterize losses and investigate ways to maximize efficiency. Testing of the final prototype included load testing, thermal characterization, efficiency evaluation, and noise level capture, with mixed results. Further work is required to provide closed loop control, safety shut off and low battery warnings.
