1. A power system of a vehicle comprising:
a DC/AC converter having an input voltage;
an AC/DC converter including a plurality of diodes and a plurality of capacitors; and
a transformer, electrically connected between the DC/AC converter and the AC/DC converter, including terminals, wherein the diodes and capacitors are arranged such that when a voltage across the terminals is in a positive half cycle, a first subset of the diodes are conducting, a first subset of the capacitors are in parallel, and a voltage across each of the capacitors is half the input voltage.
