In the step 260, the DC-to-DC converter 150 draws the second DC electrical power 154 from the battery pack 98. The DC-to-DC converter 150 subsequently converts (e.g., down converts) the second DC electrical power 154 to the first DC electrical power 126 in the step 262. In the step 270, the controller 140 controls the power factor correction circuit 110 to operate in the three-phase output mode in response to a fourth command received via the control signal 80. The power factor correction circuit 110 converts the first DC electrical power 126 to the output three-phase electrical power 78 in the step 272 while operating in a three-phase output mode. In the step 274, the output three-phase electrical power 78 is presented at the electrical interface 112 and the charging socket 92.

Embodiments of the power converter 100 generally enables a reduced sizing of the components to support lower power criteria through each component, which may result in lower component cost and higher system efficiency through reduced heat generation and other losses. Furthermore, redundancy within the power factor correction circuit 110 enables improved functional safety, performance, fault tolerance, and the like.
