A power converter for converting three phase input power to DC output power and a method of effecting such conversion. The power converter includes: (1) three single phase DC converters, each having outputs, that receive the three phase input power, (2) a DC/DC converter coupled to the outputs of the three single phase DC converters and (3) a converter selection circuit, associated with the three single phase DC converters, that selects a selected subset of the three single phase DC converters as a function of an electrical characteristic of each phase of the three phase input power to conduct a portion of the three phase input power to the DC/DC converter, the converter selection circuit permitting the power converter to operate on the three phase power with less than three DC/DC converters.
