How to protect an EV’s on-board charger from transient grid surges – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

In addition to the heat, voltage transients, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the automotive environment, the on-board charger must interface with the AC power grid, requiring protection from AC line disturbances for reliable operation. Table 1 lists maximum surge voltages up to 4kV. The IEEE C62.41.2-2002 2002 Standard 1.2/50
