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 2):
The power conversion system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of normally closed contacts of the single relay or contactor of the individual power stages includes:\n a first normally closed contact coupled between a first internal node of the switching circuit and a first output terminal of the output, the first normally closed contact operative in a first state to electrically connect the first internal node to the first output terminal when the coil is deenergized, and operative in a second state to electrically disconnect the first internal node from the first output terminal when the coil is energized; and a second normally closed contact coupled between a second internal node of the switching circuit and a second output terminal of the output, the second normally closed contact operative in a first state to electrically connect the second internal node to the second output terminal when the coil is deenergized, and operative in a second state to electrically disconnect the second internal node from the second output terminal when the coil is energized.
