Plug-in Hybrid Converter -- Universal Power Converter (UPC)

The high power density and light weight of the IPC-UPC are used to advantage in a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, using a single link reactor to direct power to where it is needed. The plug-in section may charge the on-board battery from 110 or 220 VAC single phase residential power, allowing the vehicle to run 40 miles or more before engine driven generator supplies power directly to the motor, and also to the batteries.
