About this manual

The document details the realization of a 50 W, three-phase auxiliary power supply starting from a bulk voltage of 750 V. It addresses the need for high breakdown voltage devices (up to 1700 V) and efficiency in such applications. The solution utilizes Emitter Switched Bipolar Transistors (ESBTs), specifically the STCO3DE170HV, which offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional power bipolar transistors or Power MOSFETs by combining high voltage capability with high switching frequencies.
