Keys to develop high voltage industrial power supplies
 | Join the free online seminar series co-hosted by ST and Würth Elektronik to learn how to design a very high voltage power supply for industrial markets. |
Several industrial applications require an input voltage that exceeds the standard 230 VAC. Typical use cases include systems connected to 3-phase mains voltage, where the control electronics are supplied by a phase-to-phase voltage, as well as industrial motors, online UPS or solar inverters where the auxiliary power supply is connected to a very high voltage DC voltage bus.
The performance and robustness of auxiliary power supplies can sometimes be impaired by the high input voltage required to run the application. In this online seminar series, we show you how to ensure that auxiliary power supplies are robust and power-efficient enough to deal with high input voltages.
Who should attend?
Designers who want to develop their own auxiliary power supply for industrial systems requiring up to 440VAC or 600VDC.
Benefits you will take away
- Learn how to select the best semiconductor and passive components to design a robust very high voltage power supply.
- Identify what contributes to power losses in your supply, in order to optimize its efficiency.
- Practical examples with real measurements carried out on a very high voltage auxiliary power supply.
