Electrical, hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicles use high voltage networks. They must be connected to the 110 or 230Vac 50/60Hz mains through a charging station or an in-home adaptative box to refill the batteries in energy. Moreover, the output voltage range of the battery pack is around 400Vdc (800Vdc for new generation) to supply energy to the electrical motor through an inverter. In both cases, a special care must be taken when isolating low voltage circuits (LV) from theses HV sides.

In this webinar we will:

• Recap the need and place of isolation in automotive chargers and converters.
• Present the possible safety applied standards and relative isolation criteria.
• Review the available solutions for the most efficient and reliable isolated transformers.
