Abstract: A power conversion method is disclosed. The method includes operating a PFC converter configured to receive three input voltages and provide a DC link voltage between DC link nodes in one of at least two different operating modes, and operating an SR converter coupled to the PFC converter via the DC link nodes in one of at least two different operating modes dependent on an output voltage of the SR converter. Operating the SR converter includes regulating a voltage level of the DC link voltage dependent on a DC link voltage reference, and the at least two different operating modes of the SR converter include a buck mode and a series resonant mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inductive component having a planar conductive track structure. The planar conductive track structure is surrounded along a predetermined section by a ferromagnetic core. For targeted control of the current flow inside the planar conductive track structure and, in particular, of the current density in the cross-section of the planar conductive track structure, gaps are provided in a targeted manner in the ferromagnetic core. The gaps in the ferromagnetic core are arranged in regions above and/or below the planar conductive track structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to the galvanically isolated transmission of electrical power between three voltage systems. For this purpose, a transformer is provided which comprises a total of five windings. The transmission between the individual voltage systems can be controlled by targeted manner activation of the individual windings.

Abstract: A converter for controlling power flows between three electricity networks with different operating voltages. The converter includes, in one implementation, three terminals and two converter cells. Each of the three terminals are configured to electrically contact-connect one of the three electricity networks. Each of the two converter cells includes a transformer having three converter cells. One of the terminals is connected to a series circuit of the converter cells. Another of the terminals is connected to a parallel circuit of the converter cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to a converter (K) for controlling power flows between at least three power networks (QAC, QHV, QNV) having different operating voltages (UA, UB, UC). The converter comprises at least three terminals (A, B, C), each of which is configured for electrically contacting one of the three power networks (QNV, QHV, QAC), and at least two converter cells (Z1, Z2), each having a transformer (T) having at least three transformer coils (W1,A, W1,B, W1,C, W2,A, W2,B, W2,C). At least one of the terminals (A, B, C) is connected to a series connection of converter cells (Z1, Z2), whereas at least one of the other terminals (A, B, C) is connected to parallel connection of converter cells (Z1, Z2) via a bidirectional serial line.
