PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power converter control system that is especially useful in situations where environmental conditions render difficult routing of signals from a controller to power electronics gate drive units, which is usually done using fiber optic or electrical cabling.SOLUTION: A power converter control system 100 includes primary bridge controller 130 that is configured to actuate a first plurality of gate drive units 143 that switch a first plurality of power elements in a primary bridge 120 of a power converter. The control system further includes a secondary bridge controller 132, which is separate from the primary bridge controller and configured to actuate a second plurality of gate drive units 144 to switch a second plurality of power elements in a secondary bridge 122 of the power converter. |
