1. A system for converting alternating current power to direct current power for an electro-chemical reactor, the system comprising:

  • an input electrical connector adapted to receive an alternating current power signal;

    a convertor adapted to convert the alternating current power signal to a direct current signal;

    at least one power conversion module, each power conversion module comprising;

    a convertor for converting a portion of the direct current signal to a high-frequency alternating current signal;

    a transformer adapted to adjust the voltage of the high-frequency alternating current signal;

    a convertor adapted to convert the voltage-adjusted high-frequency alternating current signal to a direct current power signal; and

    a filter adapted to filter the direct current power signal;

    a mounting structure adapted to receive a plurality of the power conversion modules;

    a first bus adapted to distribute the direct current signal from the alternating current to direct current convertor to the power conversion modules;

    a second bus adapted to receive the direct current power signals from the power conversion modules and combine the signals into an output direct current power signal;

    an output electrical connector for conveying the output direct current power signal to an electro-chemical reactor; and

    a polarity reverser adapted to reverse the polarity of the output direct current power signal,wherein the polarity reverser reverses the polarity of the output direct current power signal at a prescribed time and for a prescribed duration.
