Abstract
A converter control arrangement () for regulating the output current of a dc source power converter () comprises a current regulator () for regulating the output current based on a comparison of an output current value (I) of the dc source power converter () with a desired target current value (I). When the output voltage value (V) of the dc source power converter () is within a normal operating voltage range between minimum and maximum voltage values (V, V) defined with respect to a voltage reference value (V) of the dc source power converter (), the converter control arrangement () controls the target current value (I) so that it is equal to a desired reference current value (I). When the output voltage value (V) is outside the normal operating voltage range, which typically indicates a fault condition, the converter control arrangement () modulates the reference current value (I) to provide a target current value (I) that is less than the reference current value (I).
