In summary, Littelfuse’s team of experts have helped design some of the most efficient and reliable next-generation power converters for EV charging stations. Plus, they can help the customer navigate critical standards and codes governing the EV market. Electrical power, in the form of alternating current (AC), is safely drawn from the utility into the vehicle. Battery charging is performed by the vehicle’s on-board charger and is monitored by the battery management system. Although AC charging stations tend to be simpler in design compared to DC charging stations, there is still a need to ensure the proper level of safety is maintained for the charger, vehicle, and users. Power conversion efficiency is a key concern for fast charging systems and is measured by the power delivered to a vehicle versus the power taken from the AC grid. Electrical safety for users is of top importance when dealing with equipment that could potentially expose people to electrical shock or other hazards.
