Abstract
A system for increasing parallel rectifier DC power system efficiency. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a controller configured to sense and classify a load magnitude change into groups including large load transients and moderate load transients and (2) at least one rectifier coupled to the controller and configured to transition from a stand-by mode to an active mode upon an occurrence of one of a large load transient and a moderate load transient.
