ABSTRACT:
In the embodiments disclosed in the specification, a thermoelectric generator is provided in a layer between a heat transfer plate and a plurality of power electronic switches and the voltage generated by the thermoelectric generator is used to control switching of the switches. When the voltage generated by the thermoelectric generator is insufficient to control the switches, power source is taken from the power to be controlled by the switches and stepped down for use in controlling the switches.
