A charging apparatus and an electric vehicle including the same are disclosed. The charging apparatus includes a converter for, in a charging mode, converting an input alternating current (AC) voltage into a direct current (DC) voltage and a controller for controlling the converter. The converter includes a motor and a switching unit that is connected to an additional coil wound on a stator of one phase of the motor, and that supplies the input AC voltage to the motor by performing a switching operation. The converter also includes an inverter that, in a motor operation mode, converts a DC voltage from a battery into an AC voltage by a switching operation and drives the motor. In the charging mode, the inverter converts the input AC voltage into the DC voltage using the additional coil of the motor and the switching unit and supplies the DC voltage to the battery.

Charging apparatus and electric vehicle including the same

An inverter stack includes an enclosure on which an inlet port is formed at a lower end thereof and an outlet port is formed at an upper end thereof, the enclosure defining an internal space, a heat sink having a switching element, disposed within an upper region of the internal space, and a plurality of DC-link capacitors disposed within the internal space and below the heat sink. Through this, heat generated in high heat dissipation components is immediately moved upward by convection, thereby suppressing the damage of components due to high temperature.

Inverter stack

Provided is a power module in which a motor and a motor driving unit are efficiently configured and a vehicle having the same. The power module includes a power module case forming an external form; an inverter provided within the power module case and configured to convert a direct current (DC) power into an alternating current (AC) power; an AC power conductor provided in the power module case and connected to the inverter to cause the AC power converted by the inverter to flow therethrough; and a motor provided in the power module case and connected to the AC power conductor to receive the AC power and generate a rotational force.

Power module and vehicle having the same

An apparatus for driving a motor of an electric vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a capacitor supplied with power by a battery; an inverter configured to include a plurality of switching elements, convert direct current (DC) power stored in the capacitor into alternating current (AC) power in accordance with the switching of the switching elements and drive a motor with the AC power; and a capacitor protector provided between the battery and the capacitor and configured to consume initial power supplied by the battery at an early stage of the supply of power by the battery, the capacitor protector including a common resistor that consumes the DC power stored in the capacitor when the capacitor is discharged. Therefore, it is possible to guarantee the reliability of the apparatus.
