Patent ID: 8320146

Claim:
A power converter system comprising: a DC-to-AC power converter; a plurality of outputs each configured to be coupled to an AC load; a plurality of load switches coupled to the converter and the outputs wherein each of the plurality of load switches is configured to change between load switch positions including an open circuit position isolating the converter from a respective output and a closed position connecting the converter to the respective output; and a controller coupled to the load switches and to the outputs and configured to control the load switches to selectively couple the converter to the outputs to selectively provide AC power from the DC-to-AC power converter to the outputs dependent upon at least one characteristic associated with the outputs other than power drawn on the outputs to dynamically change the selective coupling of the converter to the outputs to dynamically change which of the outputs receive power from the converter via the load switches in the respective closed positions, and to control the load switches to selectively position the load switches in the respective open circuit positions to selectively isolate the converter from the respective outputs.
