    Abstract: A power transfer system may include a rotating magnetic core; a rotating high index core winding within the rotating magnetic core; a stationary high index core winding within the rotating high index core winding; and a stator referenced magnetic core within the stationary high index core winding. The power transfer system may include a rotor rectifier mounting plate, operatively attached to the rotating magnetic core, and/or a first and a second stationary high index core winding; and/or the stationary high index core winding and the stator referenced magnetic core do not rotate and/or the rotor rectifier mounting plate includes rectifiers to convert AC to DC; and/or the rotor rectifier mounting plate is further configured as a heat sink; and/or the rotor rectifier mounting plate is operatively attached to the rotating magnetic core via adhesive; and/or cooling fluid is allowed to pass through the power transfer system.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes a system for charging a battery of the vehicle. An electric motor couples to a charging station. A T-bridge multi-level inverter couples the electric motor to the battery. The inverter includes a first leg having a first set of switches and a first AC terminal coupled to the electric motor, a second leg having a second set of switches and a second AC terminal coupled to the electric motor and a third leg having a third set of switches and a third AC terminal coupled to the electric motor. A processor connects the third AC terminal to the charging station and controls at least one of the first set of switches to control a first current through the first AC terminal of the first leg and the second set of switches to control a second current through second AC terminal of the second leg.

    Abstract: A power transfer system for a separately excited machine includes a positive slipring and a negative slipring. One or more positive brushes and one or more negative brushes. A rotor winding attached to rotor laminations and a stator winding attached to stator laminations, such that the stator winding is outside of the rotor winding. The power transfer system may have a hollow shaft. The power transfer system may also have the negative brush and the negative slipring being exterior to the hollow shaft, and one or more position sensors. A shaft ingress separator may be within the hollow shaft and may act as a barrier between wet areas and dry areas. The power transfer system may also include a positive wire and a negative wire, which may be reversed.
