Multibridge Power Converter With Multiple Outputs
DRIVE
December 28, 2023
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a power converter apparatus that includes at least two switching bridges connected to a Direct Current (DC) bus and both generating pulse-width-modulated (PWM) voltages to non-isolated outputs, and an isolation transformer having a primary winding connected across the outputs of the two switching bridges and a secondary winding connected to isolated outputs. In a non-isolated mode, the two switching bridges are configured to operate in a parallel mode, and power is transferred between the DC bus and the non-isolated outputs. In an isolated mode, the two switching bridges are configured to operate in a full bridge mode, and power is transferred between the DC bus and the isolated outputs through the transformer.
