POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS: abstract simplified (18160370)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18160370 Titled 'POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a power conversion apparatus that consists of a transformer with three windings, as well as three switching circuits. The first switching circuit connects an external power supply to the first winding, and includes a power factor correction circuit, a smoothing capacitor, and a relay. The second switching circuit connects a main battery to the second winding, and the third switching circuit connects an auxiliary battery to the third winding. The purpose of the apparatus is to convert power from different sources and regulate it for various applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

A power conversion apparatus includes a transformer including a first winding, a second winding, and a third winding, a first switching circuit connected between an external power supply and the first winding, a second switching circuit connected between a main battery and the second winding, and a third switching circuit connected between an auxiliary battery and the third winding. The first switching circuit includes a power factor correction circuit, a smoothing capacitor configured to smooth a voltage of direct-current power output from the power factor correction circuit, and a relay provided in a power line between the smoothing capacitor and the first winding.
