The present disclosure relates to circuits for connecting components of a hydrogen plant to a power grid to power the components in an efficient manner. In one implementation, power-side alternate current (AC) to direct current (DC) converters may be connected to a source power grid without the need for an isolation transformer by providing separate buses between the power-side AC-DC converters and load-side DC-DC converters instead of a shared DC bus between the converters. Other implementations for connecting components of a hydrogen plant to a power grid may include an adjustable transformer, such as a tappable transformer or an autotransformer, to connect any number of auxiliary loads of the plant to the power grid. The adjustable transformer may provide for various types of auxiliary load devices to connect to the power provided by the transformer at the same time, including both three-phase devices and one-phase devices.
