Abstract
A system for a power converter includes a rectifier, a capacitor connected to the rectifier, a direct current to alternating current inverter (DC-AC inverter) connected to the capacitor, and a switch to operate in a first position to connect a motor to an AC side of the DC-AC inverter and disconnect the motor from an AC side of the rectifier, and a second position to connect the motor to the AC side of the rectifier and disconnect the motor from the AC side of the DC-AC inverter.
Claims20
A system for a power converter, the system comprising:
- a rectifier;
- a capacitor connected to the rectifier;
- a direct current to alternating current inverter (DC-AC inverter) connected to the capacitor;
- and
- a switch to operate in a first position to connect a motor to an AC side of the DC-AC inverter and disconnect the motor from an AC side of the rectifier, and a second position to connect the motor to the AC side of the rectifier and disconnect the motor from the AC side of the DC-AC inverter.
An electrified vehicle comprising:
- a motor;
- a battery;
- and
- a power converter including:
- a rectifier;
- a capacitor connected to the rectifier;
- a direct current to alternating current inverter (DC-AC inverter) connected to the capacitor;
- and
- a switch to operate in a first position to connect the motor to an AC side of the DC-AC inverter and disconnect the motor from an AC side of the rectifier, and a second position to connect the motor to the AC side of the rectifier and disconnect the motor from the AC side of the DC-AC inverter.
A system comprising:
- a battery;
- a motor including an inductive element;
- and
- a power converter to operate the motor using the battery, and to charge the battery using the inductive element of the motor.
