Hello,
I am trying to design a High Power Classic Boost PFC board which is currently at testing.
(To test the main circuit first without the controller circuit)
First I checked the Inrush circuit with Bridge Rectifier, Inrush diode and Electrolytic Bulk Caps and and was successfully able to get peak dc value at the output(325V no load) (Consider the following circuit as an example)
Then in the second test I assembled the complete circuit including the Inductor, Boost Diode and Mosfet.
But after providing the isolated AC mains, MOSFET is failing (all leads short) and the MCB trips to stop the Mains. (still at no load). Even when no gate signal is provided to MOS, so no switching.
The MOSFET I am using is: https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-IPW60R060P7-DS-v02_00-EN.pdf?
I replaced the MOS with fresh one. And for a low voltage test to check MOS, provided 50% fixed duty generated wave to MOS at 20V and got expected Boosted voltage at output.
Then why is the MOS failing at 230V input at No load by just sitting there? (With no Switching condition due to absence of any gate signal)
Most parameter looks correct to me, I wonder if it is happening due to inrush or body diode failing?
Is there something I am missing?
