DC high voltage to DC low voltage converter
First Claim
1. A high voltage DC to low voltage converter comprising a plurality of switches adapted to connect in series to a high voltage DC source, the switches operated in pairs as half bridges, each half bridge coupled through a plurality of capacitors to a primary of a transformer having an isolated secondary, which is rectified and filtered into low voltage power.

Abstract
A high voltage DC to low voltage converter having a plurality of switches, connected in series, paired to form half bridges, inputs connected in series across a high voltage DC source, with outputs summed together using one or more primaries of one or more transformers, with one or more secondaries rectified and filtered to form an isolated DC output at a lower voltage. Each half bridge has an input voltage that is less than the overall input voltage.
