Base station power converter suitable for single-phase power sources

A power conversion system for supplying multi-phase electrical power to a power distribution system of a telecommunications base station, comprising:

• a. a utility service connection providing a single-phase alternating current (AC);
• b. a high-capacity converter coupled to said utility power source for converting the single-phase AC to a plurality of multi-phase AC, wherein one multi-phase AC is synthesized from direct current (DC) power derived from the single-phase AC, and wherein the single-phase AC is passed through and used for another multi-phase AC without being synthesized;
• and
• c. a controller, coupled to said power distribution system and said high-capacity converter, and controlling said high-capacity converter for delivery of power to the telecommunications base station via the plurality of multi-phase AC to provide or support telecommunication services.
