Abstract
Methods and systems for controlling a multipurpose power converter for converting power for a transport climate control system are provided. The multipurpose power converter includes a rectifier having a first leg, a second leg, and a third leg. The multipurpose power converter also includes a first switch, a second switch, and an inductor-capacitor network. The first switch and the second switch are connected to the third leg. The inductor-capacitor network is connected to the first switch. When the first switch is on and the second switch is off, the multipurpose power converter is configured as a single-phase AC power converter. When the first switch is off and the second switch is on, the multipurpose power converter is configured as a three-phase AC power converter.
