What could be cost-effective approaches for high voltage/low current power supply? Let's say you have 600V AC three phase input, and you want 5V/50mA, or 12V/100mA for a control circuitry? Parts at high voltages start to become expensive. Off the top of my head I would use a flyback converter with some 1500V rated transistor. Has anyone had this kind of experience? |

What is wrong with using a 50/60 Hz transformer? |

I'm sorry but I'm not sure I get what you're asking. Do you want to make 3-phase 600V or do you want to make a higher voltage from the 600V? What voltage do you actually need? For most HVDC applications I'd go with inverter+voltage multiplier. |

My understanding is: High voltage input , with a low voltage, low current output. Am I correct? |
