  • Publication number: 20220410738
    Abstract: A power conversion apparatus includes a switching circuit including multiple switching elements, and a control unit configured to control and switch the multiple switching elements included in the switching circuit at a predetermined switching frequency with a direct current voltage applied to an input terminal of the switching circuit. The switching circuit is configured to convert the direct current voltage applied to the input terminal and to output a converted electric current. The switching frequency is set such that the switching frequency and a main frequency component of a ripple occurring in the electric current are out of a frequency range used for communication with a vehicle-mounted receiver.

  • Patent number: 9007022
    Abstract: A stationary charging system that is capable of battery charging even when a charging unit has a fault is mounted in a vehicle and includes a power unit for generating direct-current charging power, a plurality of charging units (CHG1 to CHG9) that constitute the power unit, a control unit (MCU), and a first CAN communication line for allowing data exchange between the control unit the charging units, the charging units create charging unit status data concerning results of fault diagnosis on themselves, and transmit the data to the control unit, and the control unit classifies the charging units into a plurality of charging unit groups 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3, and changes output statuses of the charging units for each of the charging unit groups upon reception of charging unit status data indicative of a fault.
