Difference between Mosfet and Voltage Regulator?

In very basic terms, a voltage regulator is a device for building a power supply, whereas a mosfet is something you use to build an amplifier. … A voltage regulator is basically an integrated circuit that has several transistors within it, while a mosfet is exactly a single transistor. …

PWM & output voltage

I think you're being bitten by the physics of the fan. The power in a stream of moving air is proportional to the cube of the air velocity, and the rotational speed of a fixed pitch propeller (i.e., …

High power three phase ac motor controller

You might investigate 'insulated gate bipolar transistor' (IGBT) technology. The high power 3-phase motor drives I've encountered (several 100's of volts x upwards of 100A) have been built around IGBT …
