Abstract
A method of adapting a configuration of a voltage converting device is provided. The voltage converting device includes a plurality of voltage converting units in parallel electrical connection to one another, and a plurality of inter-bridge transforming units. Each of the inter-bridge transforming units has a primary coil and a secondary coil. Each of the voltage converting units is electrically connected to a primary coil of a different one of the inter-bridge transforming units. The method includes detecting a status of at least one element of the group consisting of the voltage converting units and the inter-bridge transforming units. The method further includes adapting an activity state of the element based on the detected status of the element by moving the element from a first position to a second position.
