Description

本発明は、電気自動車のバッテリを充電するために用いられる電気自動車用充電システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging system used for charging an electric vehicle battery.

近年、動力源として二次電池に蓄電された電力とガソリンなどの燃料とを併用して走行するハイブリッド車や、二次電池に蓄電された電力を動力源として走行する二次電池車などの、電気自動車の実用化が進んでいる。この種の電気自動車に搭載されるバッテリは、例えば２００Ｖ〜３００Ｖ程度の高電圧を必要とするものが利用されており、またバッテリの充電には電源として２００Ｖの高電圧を利用することも多く、バッテリの充電を行うために専用の充電システムが用いられる。   In recent years, such as a hybrid vehicle that travels using electric power stored in a secondary battery as a power source and fuel such as gasoline, a secondary battery vehicle that travels using power stored in a secondary battery as a power source, Electric cars are being put into practical use. As the battery mounted on this type of electric vehicle, for example, a battery that requires a high voltage of about 200V to 300V is used, and the battery is often charged with a high voltage of 200V as a power source. A dedicated charging system is used to charge the battery.

また、電気自動車としては、例えばプラグインハイブリッドカーのように、一般家庭に供給されている商用電源から電力の供給を受けてバッテリを充電する電気自動車もある。この種の電気自動車のバッテリを充電するために、電気自動車用充電システムとして、商用電源の電源コンセントに接続される小型の電気自動車用の充電ケーブルユニットが用いられている。   Moreover, as an electric vehicle, for example, there is an electric vehicle such as a plug-in hybrid car that receives power from a commercial power source supplied to a general household and charges a battery.
