Abstract
Prior power converters utilizing a plurality of switches operated by control circuitry include many components which are subject to failure. When such a failure occurs, it may prove difficult to isolate the problem and repair the power converter. In order to overcome this problem, a power converter is packaged as a plurality of identical line replaceable units each of which may be easily replaced in the event of a malfunction.
