More Information
Summary:A power conversion system for converting electrical power from at least one power source includes a plurality of converter chains which couple the at least one power source to at least one load. At least two of the converter chains comprise an associated dissipating unit. The dissipating units are coupled via at least one switch. A controller is arranged to control the at least one switch to route power to be dissipated from one of the converter chains to the converter chain's associated dissipating unit, or to at least one of the other dissipating units, or to the converter chain's associated dissipating unit and to at least one of the other dissipating units, to cause corresponding dissipation of the power to be dissipated.
