1. A power converter for converting input power of a selected input power characteristic into output power of a selected output characteristic, said power converter comprising:

  • a switch element having an input side coupled to receive at least a representation of the input power that exhibits the selected input power characteristic, and having an output said, said switch element positionable in a closed position in which the input side and the output side are electrically connected when the representation of the input power exhibits a representation characteristic beyond a threshold; and

    a voltage converter positioned in parallel with said switch element and having an input side coupled to receive the at least the representation of the input power that exhibits the selected input power characteristic and having an output side, said voltage converter selectably converting the at least the representation of the input power when selected to be operable.
