Abstract
An on-board charger for an electric vehicle propulsion system which provides high charging capacity with minimum weight addition by sharing major elements of the electric vehicle power converter. In the preferred construction, the vehicle power converter has a magnetic element, an interphase transformer, connecting the output of the converter to the motor load. A primary winding is added to the interphase transformer for connection to a commercial AC power source. A phase controlled bridge also connected to the interphase transformer rectifies the AC power for charging the battery.
