Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for operating a multi-cell power supply that includes multiple series-connected power cells in each of multiple legs. Each power cell includes a bypass device that may be used to selectively bypass and de-bypass the power cell. After a first power cell faults and is bypassed as a result of the fault, the method includes de-bypassing the first power cell without stopping the multi-cell power supply if the first power cell fault was caused by a predetermined operating condition. Numerous other aspects are provided.
