Patent attributes
An electrical system can include a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) and a power inverter connected to the RESS. The power inverter can be configured to provide electrical power to a traction motor. The electrical system includes a plurality of machine windings connected between a plurality of first switches and the traction motor. Each switch of the plurality of first switches is configured to transition between a closed state to allow current flow between the power inverter and the traction motor. The electrical system includes a plurality of inductor windings connected between a plurality of second switches and an off-board power source. Each switch of the plurality of second switches is configured to transition between a closed state to allow current flow between the off-board power source and the power inverter to charge the RESS.
