LOL (actually really laughing out loud, great punch line)
I have been involved in a MW design (not principal engineer by any way). Those ran just below 10kHz, IGBTs

Schematics are probably free for an F-15. The BOM, on the other hand...
The cables connecting the electrodes on a big arc furnace, as thick as your thigh, in bunches, dance nicely when the arcs strike. Moving maybe a ton of copper about a foot, with a 300 ton furnace.

Damn! I sure can't beat that!
That would be 'cool' to watch.
Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply
indicates you are not using the right tools...

As folks have pointed out, your skills and the demands of this job are far apart. There is one way it can be done without much skill: a rotary convertor. The downside is in the region of 60% efficiency, so only fit for equipment seeing occasional use.
