CHARGING APPARATUS AND VEHICLE

摘要

A charging apparatus that charges an electric storage device with electric power from an alternating-current power supply includes: a first converter that converts alternating current from the power supply into direct current; a second converter that converts a voltage from the first converter into a voltage supplied to the electric storage device; and an electronic control unit configured to control the first and second converters to continue charging of the electric storage device while limiting a charging electric power supplied to the electric storage device to a second electric power when the number of times that the voltage on the output side of the first converter is out of a prescribed range exceeds a prescribed value during charging, and to a first electric power greater than the second electric power when the number of times does not exceed the prescribed value during charging.

主权项

1. A charging apparatus configured to charge an electric storage device with electric power supplied from an alternating-current power supply, the charging apparatus comprising:
a first converter configured to (i) convert alternating current received from the alternating-current power supply into direct current and (ii) output the direct current; a second converter configured to (a) convert a voltage output from the first converter into a voltage of the electric storage device and (b) output the converted voltage to the electric storage device; and an electronic control unit configured to control the first converter and the second converter to control charging electric power to be supplied to the electric storage device,
wherein the electronic control unit is configured to continue charging of the electric storage device while limiting an upper limit of the charging electric power to a second electric power when a number of times that the voltage on an output side of the first converter is out of a prescribed range exceeds a prescribed number of times during the charging of the electric storage device, and limit the upper limit of the charging electric power to a first electric power that is greater than the second electric power when the number of times that the voltage on the output side of the first converter is out of the prescribed range does not exceed the prescribed number of times during the charging of the electric storage device.
