Interleaved Converter

An electrical system comprising:

• a voltage converter circuit, comprising:
• a first branch coupled between a first direct current (DC) terminal and a second DC terminal and including a first winding and a second winding around a magnetic core, the first winding and the second winding coupled to an alternating current (AC) terminal via a common node;
• and
• a second branch coupled in parallel to the first branch between the first and second DC terminals and including a third winding around the magnetic core, the third winding coupled to the AC terminal such that the first and second branches are configured to convert a first voltage into a second voltage;
• wherein the first, second and third windings are configured to cause magnetic flux generated by a differential mode (DM) component of a first current in the first branch and magnetic flux generated by the DM component of a second current in the second branch to enhance with each other;
• and
• a controlling center configured to
• receive a request for voltage conversion;
• and
• control the voltage converter circuit to provide a converted voltage based on the request.
