An electrical converter may include AC terminals, a first and second DC terminal, and converter modules. Each of the converter modules has an AC node. The second DC terminal forms a common node of the converter modules. A connection between the AC nodes of the converter modules and the AC terminals is reconfigurable allowing the electrical converter to operate according to a first mode of operation converting between a first AC signal having a first plurality of phase voltages and the DC signal, in which the converter modules are grouped in first groups, and according to a second mode of operation converting between a second AC signal having a single-phase voltage and the DC signal, in which the converter modules are rearranged in second groups. The electrical converter is configured to operate multiple converter modules assigned to a same group of the first groups and the second groups in parallel.
