The invention relates to a power converter and a method for power conversion. A converter transformer (7) with a primary winding and a secondary winding, an integrated current transformer arranged in, order to measure a winding current of the converter transformer, and a synchronous rectifier (11, 12) connected to the secondary winding of the converter transformer (7) are provided, wherein a controller is arranged in order to close respectively to open the synchronous rectifier depending on the measured winding current. The controller is arranged to close and/or to open the synchronous rectifier (11, 12) as a function of the winding current at a later and/or at an earlier time, whereby the time difference between the later and the earlier time is linearly dependent on the winding current difference, particularly in order to optimise a discharge process, and/or that an auxiliary supply circuit is arranged in order to provide auxiliary supply power, wherein the auxiliary supply circuit is arranged to derive auxiliary supply power from the integrated current transformer, in particular in overload situations.译
