The power supply is one of the real core pieces of the lab. It needs to fulfill many purposes.
Goals
- V/A limiting output
- Multiple isolated DC outputs
- Wave Generator
- High power 3 phase output
- Welder driver
Design
I think it will be computer controlled, with it's own dedicated computer (like a RasPi).
There are probably going to be about 8 outputs.
High Power
There will be 3 high power outputs with a common ground. These are used to drive a 3 phase motor. One of the outputs will be rated for welding.
Isolated Lab Outputs
These are much lower power but designed for current limited and much cleaner. I may make one of them analog regulated.
Transformer
The heart of this is going to be one massive transformer. I always have trouble understanding transformers.
I'm not sure how feasible it is, but I like the idea of taking mains and running it through a high frequency oscillator then running that through a DIY iron powder core.
