==ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18099453 titled 'ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE

The abstract describes an electrified vehicle with a motor, a power factor correction circuit, and a DC/DC converter.

* The motor includes windings for operation.
* The power factor correction circuit has AC and DC terminals with legs corresponding to the AC terminals.
* The DC/DC converter has a first switching circuit connected to a battery and a second switching circuit connected to the DC terminals.
* A transformer is connected between the first and second switching circuits.
* In battery discharging mode, the DC/DC converter outputs the battery voltage to the DC terminals via the transformer.
* When the motor is driven, the DC/DC converter outputs the battery voltage to the motor by switching the second and third primary legs.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electrified vehicle includes a motor including windings, a power factor correction circuit including AC and DC terminals and including legs corresponding to respective AC terminals and connected between the DC terminals, and a DC/DC converter including a first switching circuit including first, second, and third primary legs connected between terminals of a battery, a second switching circuit including at least one secondary leg connected between the DC terminals, and a transformer connected between the first and second switching circuits. In a battery discharging mode, the DC/DC converter switches the first primary leg and the at least one secondary leg, outputting a voltage of the battery to the DC terminals via the transformer. When the motor may be driven, the DC/DC converter switches the second and third primary legs electrically disconnected from the transformer, outputting the voltage of the battery to the motor.
