Abstract

A converter system includes a first converter, a second converter, and a first inter-phase transformer. The first converter is electrically connected to the second converter in parallel between a first input terminal parallel end and a first output terminal parallel end. The first inter-phase transformer is disposed at the first input side parallel terminal or the first output side parallel terminal, and the first inter-phase transformer is operable to restrain a circulating current generated by the first converter and the second converter.
