Interesting. I'll have to look up application notes on them... or just go with 3-phase AC. I was perusing datasheets this morning and i noticed some IGBT's, i believe by IXYS, that advertised positive temperature coefficient. Either way, they all seem to have built-in thermistor for temp monitoring. They also have large copper or ceramic isolated heat sinks attached, making cooling a snap.
