Filament controller pass bank

A project log for Vacuum System for Deposition

I have been putting a system together for the past few years to do different kinds of deposition.

I have mostly finished the pass bank for the filament controller. It is separated into three banks, two 100A channels and one 400A channel. The two smaller channels got away with 1 big mosfet each, the 400A channel us using 4 APT20M11JLL mosfets in parallel. I am hoping the will be happy together. They have a very low  on resistance (.011 ohm) so they ought to share current nicely.
