If you have the schematic, you can often repair the BSM B3 without original Siemens parts. For example:
However, never substitute the gate drive transformer—its turns ratio, inductance, and isolation rating are critical. Rewinding or replacing it requires exact specifications from the schematic. siemens bsm b3 schematic

This is the most critical section for the high-side IGBTs. Since the emitter of a high-side IGBT can swing to the DC bus voltage (300V–800V), the gate drive power must be floating. The schematic will show:
If this section fails, the high-side IGBTs will never turn on.
