    Abstract: An energy combiner apparatus is used to convert output of a power supply, and has three output terminals, so that output ports are increased. In the three output terminals of the energy combiner apparatus, a voltage of 1500 V is output between a first output terminal and a second output terminal, a voltage of 1500 V is also output between the second output terminal and a third output terminal, and a total of 3 kV is output. Therefore, an overall output voltage is increased in a case of equal output power. Because the overall output voltage is increased, a current transmitted on a cable may be reduced. Therefore, a thinner cable may be used, so that costs of the cable are reduced. In addition, four cables conventionally required for connecting to the output terminals of the energy combiner apparatus are reduced to three, so that quantity and costs are reduced.

    Abstract: A power system is disclosed. Output terminals of a power supply or a DC-to-DC unit are cascaded to increase an output voltage, so as to reduce a current between the power supply or the DC-to-DC unit and the DC-to-AC unit, and resolve cost and loss problems of the cable from the power supply or the DC-to-DC unit to the DC-to-AC unit. In addition, according to the power system provided in the embodiments of this application, a quantity of cables from the power supply or the DC-to-DC unit to the DC-to-AC unit may be further reduced by cascading output terminals of the power supply or the DC-to-DC unit and cascading inputs of the DC-to-AC unit, thereby reducing system costs. In addition, in the power system provided in the embodiments of this application, cascaded input and isolated output of the DC-to-AC unit can reduce a specification of a power conversion device.
