Abstract

An electric power conversion system comprising: an alternating current (AC) source comprising a plurality of AC terminals for conducting AC power; a voltage source electrically coupled to the AC terminals; and a controller operably coupled to the voltage source, the controller being configured to: operate the voltage source to apply a fault reducing voltage at the AC terminals that reduces an AC line-to-line fault current (If).
