Abstract
The invention relates to a power converter comprising, in particular, a rectifier comprising at least one switching leg provided with two transistors (T1-T6) connected in series. The transistors (T1-T6) are of the normally ON field-effect type, for example JFETs, and are each controlled by a gate control device (CT1-CT6). Each gate control device comprises, in particular:
