Patent ID: 11198371

Abstract:
A power circuit for a dual voltage range charging station is disclosed. The power circuit comprises a first group comprising at least one DC power module, the first group having a first corresponding terminal and a second corresponding terminal; a second group comprising at least one DC power module, the second group having a first corresponding terminal and a second corresponding terminal; a configuration selection unit operatively connected to the first corresponding terminal of the first group, to the second corresponding terminal of the first group, to the first corresponding terminal of the second group and to the second corresponding terminal of the second group; wherein in a first configuration, the first corresponding terminal of the first group is operatively connected to the first corresponding terminal of the second group and the second corresponding terminal of the second group is operatively connected to the second corresponding terminal of the second group and a first given voltage is provided between the first corresponding terminal of the first group and the second corresponding terminal of the second group and further wherein in a second configuration, the second corresponding terminal of the first group is operatively connected to the first corresponding terminal of the second group and a second given voltage greater than the first given voltage is provided between the first corresponding terminal of the first group and the second corresponding terminal of the second group.
