Abstract
Fuel cells are rapidly achieving economic viability, and they produce none of the air pollutants that harm human health. For utility applications, fuel cell DC must be economically converted without isolation transformers. A fault-tolerant design that safely dissipates fuel cell thermal energy when the utility fails is presented
