How to use the STDES-PFCBIDIR reference design
2.1
System setup
To use the
, you need:
•
a programmable AC emulator or a programmable AC source;
•
a DC electronic load;
•
a power analyzer;
•
a digital oscilloscope.
You can test the

Step 1.
Connect the power board as shown in the figure below.
The figure shows the three-phase connection sequence (A-B-C). The neutral connection is optional.
The power board handles the input connection exploiting the four input relays. The polarity influences
the DC load connection.

Step 2.
The auxiliary power supply can be externally provided. Connect an external fan to manage the thermal
dissipation.
