Abstract
A power converter includes a first positive terminal, a first negative terminal, a second positive terminal, a second negative terminal, a first capacitor and N phase conversion circuits. The first capacitor is connected between the second positive terminal and the second negative terminal. Each phase conversion circuit includes a first main switch, a second main switch, a second capacitor, a freewheeling switch, an inductor and a bridge arm circuit. The first main switch is electrically connected with the first positive terminal. The second capacitor is electrically connected with the first main switch and the second main switch. The freewheeling switch is electrically connected between the second main switch and the second negative terminal. The inductor is electrically connected with the second main switch. The second main switch is also electrically connected with the first main switch of an adjacent phase conversion circuit.
