Abstract:
A DC-to-DC converter is provided and generally configured for implementation with an electric motor drive system. In at least one embodiment, the DC-to-DC converter includes first and second capacitors, an inductor, and first and second switching devices. The DC-to-DC converter is bi-directional to facilitate voltage transfer therethrough. In at least another embodiment, the electric motor drive system comprises an energy storage device, a drive unit, an electric motor and a bi-directional DC-to-DC converter. The energy storage device includes a positive and a negative terminal. The drive unit includes a first and second terminal. The electric motor is in electrical communication with the drive unit.
Abstract:
An inductor (160) includes a core (162) that has a window (164). The core (162) includes a first core member (168) and a second core member (170). A first winding (176) is coupled to the first core member (168) and a second winding (178) is coupled to the second core member (170). A cross-member (172, 174) is coupled at least partially across the window (178) and is conductively enabling flux flow between the first core member (168) and the second core member (170). An electronic circuit (100) includes an input terminal (118), an inductor (102), and an output terminal (E′, F′). The inductor (102) is coupled to the input terminal and has only a single inductive core (162). The inductor (102) is coupled to filter both common-mode noise and differential-mode noise. The load terminal is coupled to and receives filtered common-mode and differential-mode current from the inductor (102).
Abstract:
At least three alternative stiff current supply power converter topologies provide fixed current to a respective electric load such as a motor, or a non-inductive electric load using either a current source or a pseudo current source. The stiff current power converter topologies reduce the size of passive components within each of the topologies, thus reducing the overall packaging of each of the components and subsystems formed by each of the components. Each of the topologies have a stiff current source, a driver having power electronics formed therein to drive the associated electric load, wherein the stiff current source and the driver operate to deliver a stiff but controllable current to the electric load.
Abstract:
An inductor includes a core that has a window (164). The core includes a first core member and a second core member. A first winding is coupled to the first core member and a second winding is coupled to the second core member. A shell surrounds the core. Pairs of gaps between the core and the shell provide flux paths.
Abstract:
Measured or otherwise known operating characteristics of a DC/DC power converter are used to determine, without measuring, an operating characteristic of the DC/DC power converter.
