I have 2 IGBTs CM600HA-24H, 4 600A diodes A672384 and 30 7400uf 200v electrolytic capacitors to build an induction heater using a 225a 65v Lincoln arc welder as the power supply.
I want 2 heat sinks 14" x 18" with 2" fins for the IBGTs, data sheet says 4100w 1200v 600a.
I need 2 heat sink 8" x 14" maybe larger for the 4 diodes.
How much cooling will the diodes need compared to the IGBTs?
This unit will be used 30 seconds to heat 1 part then turned off. Might need to heat 5 parts in a row. Heat sinks will have safety preset 150 degree F thermostats to shut the unit down. Might need water cooling if I use it more than I am planning.
