Patent ID: 8133627

Claim:
A fuel cell system, comprising: a stack comprising a plurality of generators that produce electrical energy by an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen; a fuel supply assembly; an oxygen supply assembly; at least one branch member that is coupled to a plurality of the generators for simultaneously separating a total voltage that is produced by the plurality of generators into predetermined voltages and simultaneously applying the predetermined voltages to a plurality of loads, a packaging member that surrounds the entire fuel cell system and receives the at least one branch member; and an outlet of the at least one branch member exposed outside of the packaging member, wherein the generators are connected in series, wherein each load is to be connected by the at least one branch member to at least one different generator from any other load, wherein the at least one branch member comprises a connection terminal for separating the total voltage that is produced by the plurality of generators into the predetermined voltages and applying each of the predetermined voltages to at least one of the loads, and the connection terminal comprises a plurality of terminal pins that are each coupled to at least one of the generators.
