Electrical power converter method and system employing multiple output converters
First Claim
1. A system for converting electrical power, the system comprising:
- a backplane for routing electrical power and thermal energy;
a first power converter secured to the backplane, the first power converter including power electronics circuitry configured to produce first output power having desired characteristics; and
a second power converter secured to the backplane, the second power converter including power electronics circuitry configured to produce second output power independently of the first power converter.

Abstract
A support may receive one or more power electronic circuits. The support may aid in removing heat from the circuits through fluid circulating through the support. The support, in conjunction with other packaging features may form a shield from both external EMI/RFI and from interference generated by operation of the power electronic circuits. Features may be provided to permit and enhance connection of the circuitry to external circuitry, such as improved terminal configurations. Modular units may be assembled that may be coupled to electronic circuitry via plug-in arrangements or through interface with a backplane or similar mounting and interconnecting structures.
