Abstract:
A vehicle includes an electric machine with two sets of galvanically isolated windings, first and second inverters, a switching arrangement, and a controller. During charge, the controller operates the switching arrangement to isolate the first inverter from the electric machine to permit charge current to flow through one of the sets and induce a voltage in the other of the sets. During propulsion, the controller operates the switching arrangement to couple the first inverter with the one of the sets such that the first and second inverters are configured to only power one of the sets.
