1. An apparatus for power conversion, comprising:
- a power conversion module for converting a first current to a second current, wherein the first current or the second current is an AC current having at least two phases; and
a waveform modification module, coupled to the power conversion module, for modifying the AC current to generate a modified AC current, wherein each phase of the modified AC current has a value of zero at the beginning of an AC line cycle.
