Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a busbar assembly for a vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a first plate, a second plate, and a third plate. The first plate supported on the PCB and is configured to enable a first current to flow in a first direction. The second plate is supported on the PCB and includes a first portion positioned below the first plate to enable a second current to flow in a second direction. The third plate is on the PCB and is positioned below the second plate to enable the first current to flow in the first direction. The second current that flows through the second plate is increased through an effective cross-section of the second plate when the flow of the second current in the second direction is different than the flow of the first current in the first direction.

Abstract: An on-board charger (OBC) for using AC power to charge a traction battery of an electric vehicle includes a DC/DC converter and a controller. The converter receives input power including a voltage having a DC voltage component and a voltage ripple varying at a frequency of the AC power. The controller generates a control signal for controlling the converter to convert the input power into an output power having a current for charging the battery. The controller includes a filter which enhances a sensed value of the current at the frequency to generate a locally-enhanced sensed value of the current. The controller determines a difference between a target and the locally-enhanced sensed value of the current and generates the control signal based on the difference such that the converter in converting the input power into the output power in response to the control signal adapts the current to the target.

Abstract: An on-board charger (OBC) for charging a traction battery of an electric vehicle includes a primary phase, a secondary phase, and a pre-charge circuit. Each phase includes a circuit having an input and an output. The primary phase circuit input is connectable to a mains supply to connect the primary phase to the mains supply. The secondary phase circuit input has an input capacitor. The pre-charge circuit is connected between the circuit outputs and is switchable between an opened state in which the pre-charge circuit disconnects the circuit outputs and a closed state in which the pre-charge circuit connects the circuit outputs. When the pre-charge circuit is in the closed state, an electrical current may flow through the pre-charge circuit from the primary phase circuit output to the secondary phase circuit output and through the secondary phase circuit to the input capacitor to charge the input capacitor.
