What board can be used as foundation for building a power electronic converter?

The power electronic converter is for high power application. I am going to design it for a new project. Any useful advice?

You need to take power dissipation into consideration.
You must also calculate the current rating through the circuit and design the PCB track width accordingly.
The quality of the PCB material should also be considered. Low-quality PCBs would get damaged easily due to the heavy current carried by the track.
Apart from these things you should also take care of all safety features so that the circuit does not get shorted at any point if time during Power On time.

I guess Glass Epoxy PCBs give a better result than copper-clad PCBs.

What type of PCB material should I use?

I’m making my first 4 layer PCB (1 signal, 2 GND plane, 3 PWR plane, 4 signal) with impedance control. How do you know what type of material to use? Is FR4 material ok for the 50 Ω and 90 Ω impedance?

Do you know the standard thickness of a copper layer on a PCB?

We visited a PCB factory. And find that there are copper boards with various thickness in their incoming materials warehouse. That’s cool. It is the first time we see that. How many standard thicknesses of a copper layer on a PCB?
