    Abstract: For power converter pre-charge with line synchronization, a method magnetizes a power transformer of a power converter with a supply voltage from a variable voltage variable frequency supply. The method pre-charges power cells of the power converter fed from the power transformer to a specified voltage with the supply voltage. The method further modifies a primary amplitude, a primary phase, and a primary frequency of a primary winding of the power converter with the supply voltage to match a main amplitude, a main phase, and a main frequency of a main voltage of a main power source. In response to matching the primary amplitude, the primary phase, and the primary frequency to the main amplitude, the main phase, and the main frequency, the method connects the main power source to the power transformer.

    Abstract: For a power supply with a reduced number of semiconductor devices, a transformer receives a three-phase primary voltage and steps the three-phase primary voltage up or down to a secondary voltage with a plurality of secondary winding sets to a plurality of first phase voltages, a plurality of second phase voltages, and a plurality of third phase voltages. A plurality of power cell sets each include a plurality of power cells cascaded connected. Each power cell comprises a rectifier and an inverter. The rectifier includes two first active switches that are serially connected and receive a phase voltage at a first switch midpoint, two second active switches that are serially connected and receive another phase voltage at a second switch midpoint, and two capacitors that are serially connected and receive another phase voltage at a capacitor midpoint between the capacitors.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include methods, power converters and damping circuits to control damping of an input filter circuit, in which a low-voltage secondary winding is wound around a common core with a primary winding connected between an AC input and a rectifier input of the converter, where the secondary winding is coupled in a series circuit with a damping resistor and a switch, and a controller selectively closes the switch with a controlled on-time at system power up and/or in response to detection of oscillation or transients in the power converter.
