  • Publication number: 20240235245
    Abstract: The present technology discloses a three-phase and single-phase two-way charger. According to a specific example of the present invention, a battery charger having a single-stage structure for a combined use of single-phase and three-phase is implemented without an electrolytic capacitor which lowers the reliability and charging efficiency, to enable a compatible use of single-phase and three-phase external power sources, and to improve charging efficiency and the performance in a wide input/output voltage range by a reduced number of switching elements and a soft switching operation of the switching elements and thus improve the reliability and lifetime. A lightweight charger can be realized by integrating, into a core, at least two of an inductor for removing ripples of the battery charger, a primary side and a secondary side of a transformer, and an inductor for removing noise.
