Electrical power converter for converting electrical power of a power source connected or connectable at an input to electrical DC-power at an output, wherein between the input and the output a first circuit of submodules is provided, wherein said first circuit of submodules and the power source form a primary power loop and wherein each submodule comprises an energy storage component and each submodule is connected to a controller to drive the submodules in order to arrange that the electrical power at the output is DC-power, wherein the first circuit of submodules is provided with a parallel second electrical circuit so as to arrange that the first circuit and the parallel second circuit form a secondary power loop to enable the flow of local currents between the energy storage components of the submodules, wherein at the converter's output a blocking circuit is provided tuned to the operating frequency of the secondary power loop and that the secondary power loop is embodied as a current bypass circuit for the primary power loop so as to prevent that power from the converter flows to the input.
