Abstract:
An on-board charger (OBC) for charging a traction battery of an electric vehicle includes a Power Factor Correction (PFC) stage to convert AC power from a mains supply into DC power for use in charging the traction battery, a bi-directional DC/DC converter coupled to the traction battery, a DC link capacitor between the PFC stage and the DC/DC converter, and a controller. The controller is operable to control the PFC stage and the DC/DC converter to operate in (i) a pre-charge mode in which the DC link capacitor is pre-charged using electrical power from the traction battery and (ii) a stable operation mode in which the traction battery is charged using the AC power from the mains supply.

Claim (Index 14):
The OBC of  claim 13  wherein:\n the controller is further operable to control the EVSE to connect the PFC stage to the mains supply during the stable operation mode.
