The present system and method pertains to power converters 500 and structural building blocks (PEBBs) 200 of the power converters such as PEBB LRUs 200; the systems described herein are generally configured to operate with one or more power sources 110.1 at a source end and one or more loads 110.2. By convention, the sources are attached to what is referred to as a “first end” or “power end” of PEBBs 500, and the loads are connected to what is conventionally referred to as “second end” or a “l(fā)oad end” of the PEBBs 500. It is noted, however, that:
(i) Larger system topologies may entail multiple power connection points and/or load connection points, so that the “ends” should not be construed as necessarily referring to two structurally opposing ends of the physical system, and
(ii) in some exemplary embodiments, it is an element of the present system and method that the A-PEBB LRU's 200.A and PEBBs 500 may be adapted or reconfigured so that source connections become load connections, or vice-versa.
Adaptable PEBB (A-PEBB): In
