1. A method for compensating for an effective current imbalance in a pair of conductors carrying common mode electrical power, the pair of conductors coupled between a first magnetic device and a second magnetic device, the first magnetic device having a primary winding and a secondary winding, and the second magnetic device having a primary winding and a secondary winding, said pair of conductors coupling said secondary windings of said first and second magnetic devices, the method comprising:

  • detecting the effective current imbalance in the pair of conductors;

    applying, responsive to said detecting, a direct current bias to the circuit element comprising the pair of conductors and the secondaries of the first and second magnetic devices in a magnitude and direction to compensate for the effective current imbalance.
