POWER SUPPLY DEVICE SYSTEM FOR A HYBRID OR ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017620 titled 'POWER SUPPLY DEVICE SYSTEM FOR A HYBRID OR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a boost converter for a hybrid vehicle that includes various components such as an inductor, bus bar, insulator, temperature sensor, and wire. The bus bar connects the inductor to a power source, while the insulator is placed over the bus bar and has an array of orifices. The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the inductor, and the wire is connected to the temperature sensor and weaved through the orifices of the insulator, alternating between opposing external sides.

  • The boost converter is designed for use in a hybrid vehicle.
  • It includes an inductor, bus bar, insulator, temperature sensor, and wire.
  • The bus bar connects the inductor to a power source.
  • The insulator is placed over the bus bar and has an array of orifices.
