Abstract
An electric power converter includes a plurality of branches of switch units. A first stage, a second stage and a third stage of the converter are connected in series. The first stage includes first positive and negative branches, which are connected between a first output node and two first input nodes. The second stage includes three input nodes and positive and negative cells, each connected between a first input node and two second input nodes. The third stage includes third positive intermediate and negative branches, connected between the three second input nodes and three third input nodes. Capacitors are connected between the three second input nodes and between the three third input nodes.
