A bidirectional three-phase direct current (DC)/DC converter and method are disclosed. The converter comprises a primary side comprising a DC bus having a positive side and a negative side, a first set of rectifiers connected between the positive side and the negative side of the DC bus, a first set of M resonant tanks connected to a respective rectifier of the first set of rectifiers and a first set of M transformers. Each transformer is connected to a respective resonant tank. Each resonant tank comprises a resonant capacitor and a resonant inductor. The secondary side of the converter is fully symmetrical to the primary side of the converter to ensure that the conversion gain in the forward and reverse directions is the same.
