Abstract: An inverter system is provided that includes switches that alternate between closed and open states to conduct or block conduction, respectively, of electric current through the switches and switch controllers that control operation of the switches between the closed and open states. In a first operating mode, the controllers control operation of the switches to convert direct current into a single, common phase of an alternating current from a same phase output from each of the switches to power a higher-demand load of a powered system with the single phase of the alternating current. In a second operating mode, the controllers control operation of the switches to convert the direct current into multiple, different phases of the alternating current to power a lower-demand load of the powered system with the multiple, different phases of the alternating current. Each of the switches outputs a different phase of the multiple phases.
