Abstract

An auxiliary power source device for a vehicle is incorporated in an electric vehicle and includes a three-phase inverter that converts an input DC voltage into a desired three-phase AC voltage and applies the three-phase AC voltage to a load. The auxiliary power source device further includes a filter reactor that is connected to respective output terminals of a three-phase inverter, a filter capacitor that is connected in a Y-shape at an end on a load side of the filter reactor and is not grounded at a neutral point, and a three-phase transformer that includes primary windings that are connected in a Y-shape at the end on the load side of the filter reactor and is grounded at a neutral point and secondary windings that are connected in a delta shape.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An auxiliary power source device for a vehicle incorporated in an electric vehicle, the auxiliary power source device comprising:
a three-phase inverter that converts an input DC voltage into a desired three-phase AC voltage and applies the three-phase AC voltage to one end side of a load;
a filter reactor that is connected to respective output terminals of the three-phase inverter;
a filter capacitor that is connected in a Y-shape at an end on a load side of the filter reactor and is not grounded at a neutral point; and
a three-phase transformer that includes primary windings that are connected in a Y-shape at the end on the load side of the filter reactor and grounded at a neutral point and secondary windings that are connected in a delta shape, wherein the neutral point of the primary windings is connected to an opposite end side of the load, and the secondary windings are connected to the neutral point of the primary windings via a connecting wire.

2. The auxiliary power source device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein any one of connection terminals between the secondary windings connected in the delta shape is grounded.

3. The auxiliary power source device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein AC power from an AC overhead wire is supplied to the electric vehicle.

4. The auxiliary power source device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein DC power from a DC overhead wire is supplied to the electric vehicle.

5. The auxiliary power source device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting wire is continuous between the secondary windings and the neutral point of the primary windings.

6. The auxiliary power source device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary windings are directly connected to the neutral point of the primary windings via the connecting wire.

7. The auxiliary power source device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the filter reactor is directly connected to the load.
