A combined topology of two converters with common elements is to be designed, where switching between the two converters can be done only when required (no importance of frequency of switching here). After switching ON/OFF each of the converters will be controlled differently and they will be completely independent.

So if contactors are used, conduction losses would be higher. Even if semiconductor switches are used then we need a bidirectional and bipolar arrangement of switches, the number of switches will increase and the conduction loss in them will also be present.

So I want to know what can be the other methods for this one-time switching because I want the path to be like the simple conductor with minimum or no additional losses. Or what kind of switching would be best here?
