Polarity correction circuit

A power unbalance mitigating polarity correction circuit comprising at least a first and a second polarity correction circuits, the first and the second polarity correction circuit each comprising:

• an input for receiving an input current,
• an output for providing a rectified output current,
• at least a first current path, for conducting the received current when the received current is of a first polarity, and a second current path, for conducting the received current when the received current is of a second polarity,
• wherein the first current path comprises a passive rectification component as an asymmetric conductance component of a first type and the second current path comprises an active rectification component as an asymmetric conductance component of a second type different from the first type;
• the power unbalance mitigating polarity correction circuit further comprising a controller, wherein the controller is arranged for controlling the active rectification components to operate in a power unbalance mitigation mode when the controller determines a power unbalance mitigation condition for mitigating an unbalance of power between the first polarity correction circuit and the second polarity correction circuit when the current received by the first polarity correction circuit is conducted over the first current path of the first polarity correction circuit and the current received by the second polarity correction circuit is conducted over the second current path of the second polarity correction circuit.
