Abstract: An apparatus includes an output port configured to be coupled to a load, a plurality of current source rectifier (CSR) circuits having outputs coupled in series across the output port, and a control circuit configured to control the CSR circuits responsive to a voltage at the output port. The quantity of CSR circuits may be sufficient to provide redundancy in the event one or more of the CSR circuits fails.

Abstract: An electrical connection element is for a power connector. The power connector includes an electrical component having a number of first electrical mating members. The electrical connection element includes: a housing including a number of second electrical mating members electrically connected to the first electrical mating members; a contact assembly comprising a number of sets of separable contacts each structured to be electrically connected to at least one of the second electrical mating members; and an arc suppression system including: a number of electronic devices each electrically connected to a respective set of separable contacts, and a control mechanism for controlling the electronic devices. When the contact assembly moves between an OPEN position and a CLOSED position, the control mechanism redirects current from the respective set of separable contacts to a corresponding one of the electronic devices in order to suppress arcing across the respective set of separable contacts.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a current source rectifier circuit having an input configured to be coupled to an AC power source and an output configured to be coupled to a load, a coupling circuit configured to couple a DC power source to the current source rectifier, and a control circuit configured to selectively operate the current source rectifier circuit and the coupling circuit to generate a DC output from the AC power source and the DC power source. In some embodiments, the control circuit may be configured to operate the coupling circuit to provide a DC/DC converter circuit that uses an energy storage inductor of the current source rectifier circuit. The apparatus may further include a freewheeling diode shared by the current source rectifier circuit and the DC/DC converter circuit. Such apparatus may be used, for example, in DC UPS applications.

Abstract: A hybrid switching circuit includes first and second switching devices containing first and second unequal bandgap semiconductor materials. These switching devices, which support parallel conduction in response to first and second control signals, are three or more terminal switching devices of different type. For example, the first switching device may be a three or more terminal wide bandgap switching device selected from a group consisting of JFETs, IGFETs and high electron mobility transistors HEMTs, and the second switching device may be a Si-IGBT. A control circuit is also provided, which is configured to drive the first and second switching devices with first and second periodic control signals having first and second unequal duty cycles. The first duty cycle may be greater than the second duty cycle and the active phases of the second periodic control signal may occur exclusively within the active phases of the first periodic control signal.
