    Thanks guys.
    I am learning a lot here and I appreciate your help.
    Everything is starting to make sense and my own understanding of fet's is improving rapidly!

    I am using pwm and is switching using frequencies up to 20kHz.
    Although it is not needed right now, I would like to accomodate higher voltages at a later stage
    and for that reason I have chosen the IRFP460 which can handle up to 500V and 20A.
    Right now I am trying to determine what would be the best driver (if necessary) to use with the IRFP460 specifically
    because I have already tested this mosfet to work well with my application while using lower voltages,
    and at higher voltages (e.g. 200V) I should never exceed 3amps current.
    Thanks again for all the suggestions, it really helped a lot!
