When I think over it, the current is probably too much. It should be half. Its 600Vp-p. So at the most, its only 300V going through the 5 ohm resistor, giving a current at 60 Amps, not 120.
Its an amplifier to power a magnet, on a sensor used on oilrigs (im sorry i cant be more specific, but its most likely confidential), (Im guessing oilrigs can output the ammount of current that i need - in anycase that part really isnt my problem - I've just been given specifications). The signal is a pulse (a sync looking pulse), so its not going to be on for very long... So I dont really have to worry about it overheating. 95% of the time it works at 330kHz - but sometimes they do use it at lower frequencey's.
Its a bachelors project - theres a company sponsoring it, so I don't really worry so much about what its going to cost
The problem using IGBT transistors is that they don't do very well at high frequenceys.
The company we're doing the project for said they would really prefer using bipolar, as they dont require as much overhead voltage. I think this has something to do with the fact that they want the most juice they can get from 600Vp-p and also that there are laws/rules/protocols for voltages above 600v. That maybe they need more or better (which ofcourse means more expencive) equiptment to make it explosion proof...? Im not really 100% sure - but Im guessing thats why.
