Abstract:
Multilevel power converters, power cells and methods are presented for selectively bypassing a power stage of a multilevel inverter circuit, in which a single relay or contactor includes first and second normally closed output control contacts coupled between a given power cell switching circuit and the given power cell output, along with a normally open bypass contact coupled across the power stage output, with a local or central controller energizing the coil of the relay or contactor of a given cell to bypass that cell.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein:\n energizing the coil of the single relay or contactor opens a first normally closed contact coupled between a first internal node of the switching circuit and a first output terminal of the output to electrically disconnect the first internal node from the first output terminal; and energizing the coil of the single relay or contactor opens a second normally closed contact coupled between a second internal node of the switching circuit and a second output terminal of the output to electrically disconnect the second internal node from the second output terminal.
