Integrated power module for hybrid and fuel cell vehicles

摘要

An integrated power module conditions and distributes electrical power from a high voltage source in a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes an electrically-driven traction motor. A common primary DC-to-DC converter stage for coupling to the high voltage source produces an intermediate DC voltage on an intermediate voltage bus. The primary DC-to-DC converter stage comprises a plurality of phases including respective secondary circuits selectably coupled to the intermediate voltage bus. A plurality of power conditioners are each coupled to the intermediate voltage bus for transforming the intermediate DC voltage to respective power outputs, wherein the power outputs including a first AC output for driving the traction motor.
