A power converter includes an unfolder connected to a three-phase source and has an output connection with three output terminals. A three-input converter connected to the unfolder produces a quasi-sinusoidal output voltage across converter output terminals. Switches of the converter selectively connect each of the three output terminals across the converter output terminals. A pulse-width modulation controller controls a first duty ratio and a second duty ratio for the converter based on a phase angle of the source and a modulation index generated from an error signal related to a control variable. The duty ratios are time varying at a rate related to a fundamental frequency of the source. The modulation index relates to output voltage of the converter, peak voltage or current of the source and/or peak current at the output terminals.

The purpose of the present disclosure is to protect a power circuit of a base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising: at least one module for processing a signal; and the power circuit for supplying power to the at least one module. The power circuit comprises a transformer, a rectifier circuit and a smoothing circuit, and the power circuit reduces the ratio of an on-section of the rectifier circuit if a reverse current from the at least one module is detected.

Methods, circuits, and devices for power conversion are disclosed. In some embodiments, the device comprises a circuit comprising a first, second, and third leg. Each leg may comprise two switches. The first leg is switched at a first frequency to generate a first signal, and the second leg is switched at a second frequency lower than the first frequency to generate a second signal. The third leg is switched by a neutral leg control signal to generate a third signal. The circuit generates an output power signal (e.g., a split-phase power signal) based on the first signal, second signal, and the third signal.

This application discloses an electrical system and an electrical apparatus. The electrical system includes: a first-stage conversion module including a plurality of first controllable switches; a second-stage conversion module including a plurality of second controllable switches; a first digital signal processor configured to control the first controllable switch; and a second digital signal processor configured to control the second controllable switch, where a first output crossbar switch of the first digital signal processor is configured to supply a first internal signal to a first output port, so that the second digital signal processor receives the first internal signal within a preset time through a second input port. The internal signal of the first digital signal processor can be enabled to be transmitted to the second digital signal processor within a relatively short time, thereby reducing a time interval for triggering a protection action between the two digital signal processors.
