POWER CONVERTER BASED ON H BRIDGES

摘要

A power converter includes an active front end (AFE) that is coupled by a dc link stage to a plurality of H bridge inverters. One or more multi phase electromagnetic energy conversion devices such as transformers or electric machines with open windings that are connected to only the AFE or only the H bridge inverters or to both the AFE and H bridge inverters provide a regenerative or partial regenerative power converter.
