A hybrid vehicle including a welder that is adapted to be powered off a direct current (DC) bus generated by the electronics of the hybrid vehicle is provided. A variety of exemplary placements of the welder on or in the hybrid vehicle are provided. Additionally, a parallel hybrid configuration, a series hybrid configuration, and a series-parallel configuration including welding converter circuitry that is adapted to utilize the DC bus from the hybrid vehicle to generate welding power are provided. The figure is a block diagram illustrating components of an exemplary drivetrain (24) arranged in a series configuration that may be located in the hybrid vehicle. The series drivetrain (24) includes an energy storage device (26) (e.g. a battery, electronics (28), a motor (38), wheels (40), and welding converter circuitry (42). In the illustrated embodiment, the electronics (28) include a power converter (46), However, in additional embodiments the electronics may include additional components, such as additional power converters, rectifiers, capacitrsm and so forth suitable for the given application. The energy storage device (26) may be any device capable of storing and dissipating energy, such as a battery, a fuel cell, a solar cell, a capacitor, and so forth. |
