DIY Induction Heater That Melts Steel, Copper & Aluminum (Part 1)

In this video, I show you how I built a DIY induction heater capable of melting a wide range of metals, even steel. It's not an easy build, but if you want to learn about power electronics and/or deepen your expertise in the field, this project is a perfect combination of challenge and fun. Part 2 is now out! -    • Homemade 4kW Induction Heater That Melts S...   This build was inspired by the work on induction heaters done by @iamsmoother and @BrianDhvTinkerer. Go and check out their channels! I forgot to talk about the DC link capacitors...but here is a fascinating read where you can learn what they are and why they are important https://www.embeddedrelated.com/showa... I'll also share a finished schematic of the circuit along with the blog post once I release the next video. Useful Links: Ferrites: https://cdn-reichelt.de/documents/dat...
