Abstract: A power converter with a modular, compact architecture with a reduced component count is disclosed. The power converter includes parallel power conversion sections and utilizes one or more mutual coupling input inductors with multiple windings. The windings are connected in pairs in a differential mode between a power source and the parallel power conversion sections. Each power conversion section receives the same input voltage and generates the same output voltage. As a result of the winding connections and the same input and output voltages, the input of the power converter exhibits current balancing and sharing between each branch of the parallel configuration, allowing a single current sensor to provide a measurement of the current and a single controller to control operation of each of the power conversion sections.

Abstract: A system for providing electrical power to a load is provided. The system includes at least two inverters and at least two resonant circuits. The inverters are operative to electrically connect to a power source. The resonant circuits are each electrically connected to at least one of the inverters and operative to provide electrical power to the load. The resonant circuits are coupled to each other.
