Abstract
A power converter and a method of operating a power converter. The power converter includes: (1) a transformer for receiving bipolar electrical input power from a power source, the power substantially free of dead time and (2) a hybridge rectifier coupled to the transformer and including first and second output inductors of independently selectable, differing inductance, the hybridge rectifier receiving the input power from the transformer and rectifying the input power to produce an output power substantially free of ripple current at a predetermined duty cycle operating point of the converter, the first and second output inductors being of independently selectable, differing inductance thereby to allow the predetermined duty cycle operating point to be adjustable.
