Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides an apparatus for charging a high voltage battery of an electric vehicle by performing a control operation when the apparatus operates abnormally, the control operation discontinuing operations of a rectifier, a boost PFC (Power Factor Control) circuit and a DC-DC converter and receiving a power source from an auxiliary power supply unit, the power source charged by discharging a DC-link capacitor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for charging a high voltage battery of an electric vehicle by converting an AC power source to a DC power source, the apparatus comprising: a rectifier configured to receive the AC power source and convert the AC power source to a rectified DC power source; a boost PFC (Power Factor Control) circuit configured to correct a power factor by receiving the rectified DC power source; a DC-link capacitor configured to be charged when connected to…
