In some embodiments, an A-PS 300 may have more or fewer CF contactors 350 than the exemplary number of switch contactors described above, possibly with a different switching topology, and more or fewer inductors 355. Similarly, in some embodiments, an A-PS 300 may have more, fewer, or different power conversion modes 392 than those enumerated above in conjunction with Table Λ 390; further, such power conversion modes may be achieved via contactor settings 395 other than those enumerated above in Table Λ 390.

Alternative embodiments, examples, and modifications which would still be encompassed by the disclosure may be made by those skilled in the art, particularly in light of the foregoing teachings. Further, it should be understood that the terminology used to describe the disclosure is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation.

Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that various adaptations and modifications of the preferred and alternative embodiments described above can be configured without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the disclosure may be practiced other than as specifically described herein.

The present invention has been described above with the aid of functional building blocks illustrating the implementation of specified functions and relationships thereof. The boundaries of these functional building blocks have been arbitrarily defined herein for the convenience of the description. Alternate boundaries can be defined so long as the specified functions and relationships thereof are appropriately performed.
