An on-board electric vehicle battery charger includes a surge limiter circuit, a power factor control circuit, and a resonant inverter circuit. The power factor control circuit includes a boost regulator circuit providing a fixed voltage on an output capacitor. The resonant inverter circuit uses a resonance capacitor and the leakage inductance of an output transformer to establish a resonance frequency at least 500 times the AC input power frequency.
摘要:
A power bridge for an electric vehicle propulsion system, comprising a switching circuit including first and second switching elements operable between "on" and "off" states and a midpoint detector coupled to the switching circuit for detecting a failure of at least one of the first and second switching elements, where the midpoint detector is capable of detecting and isolating a failure when the switching elements are in the "on" or the "off" states.
摘要:
A power bridge assembly for providing electric current to stator windings of an electric motor used in an electric propulsion system for an electric vehicle. The power bridge is assembled on a laminated bus bar. An upper plate of the bus bar connects to one side of a high voltage battery, a lower plate of the bus bar connects to the other side of the high voltage battery, and an insulation layer is sandwiched between the upper and lower plates. Electrical switches and capacitors sandwich the laminated bus bar. With this structure, two fasteners, one for positive voltage and one for negative voltage, can connect the bus bar, capacitors, and switches both electrically and mechanically. The sandwich structure eliminates parasitic inductance from the electrical connections.
摘要:
A method for testing a power bridge for an electric vehicle propulsion system, the power bridge including a switching circuit having first and second switching elements operable between "on" and "off" states. The method comprises the steps of selectively switching the first and second switching elements between the "on" and "off" states, monitoring the first and second switching elements to determine whether the first and second switching elements operate between the "on" and "off" states when selectively switched, and indicating a failure o#the switching circuit when at least one of the first and second switching elements does not operate between the "on" and "off" states when selectively switched.
