POWER RECTIFYING CIRCUIT AND SYSTEMS, ASSOCIATED METHOD, AND AIRCRAFT INCLUDING SUCH CIRCUIT OR SYSTEMS

摘要

The circuit (30) has switch assemblies (30a, 30b), each comprising a set of cascade switching cells i.e. boost cells (310a, 310b, 320a, 320b). Each boost cell has a diode connected between input and output terminals of the cell, a switch connected between other input and output terminals of the cell and a floating capacitor connected between the output terminals of cell. The cells are arranged in cascade such that the output terminals of the cell are respectively connected to input terminals of following boost cell. Terminal capacitors and the boost cells (320a, 320b) have common terminals. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a rectifier system for rectifying power of electric current signal provided by poly-phased alternative supply source (2) a method for rectifying power of electric current signals provided by an alternative power supply source.
