ABSTRACT:
A power converter for converting input AC power comprising N phase-to-phase input AC waveforms at a first frequency into overall output DC power, where N is an integer greater than two, includes N phase-to-phase AC/DC converters each receiving a phase-to-phase waveform and having outputs connected in series whereby the converter outputs are combined to develop the overall output DC power. The AC/DC converters are operated such that a parameter of the input AC power and a parameter of the overall output DC power are controlled.
