3.5.3 Isolated bias supply

In traction inverter systems, the isolated power supply serves the critical function of providing the required power to gate drivers while maintaining galvanic isolation between the low-voltage control circuitry and high-voltage power stage. Due to its role in ensuring proper gate driver operation, the isolated power supply is assigned a high FuSa level to prevent unintended torque generation. Based on different architectural approaches, there are three primary types of isolated power supply structures implemented in traction inverter systems: Centralized power supply; Fully distributed power supply; and Semi-distributed power supply.
