Electric vehicles (EVs) can be categorized into five types based on charging methods: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), Extended-Range Hybrid Electric Vehicles (EREV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). PHEVs, EREVs, BEVs, and FCEVs require external charging, necessitating an On-Board Charger (OBC).
On-Board Charger Function
The OBC, also known as the AC charger, is a crucial component of the slow charging system for EVs. It can handle single-phase or three-phase power, delivering up to 22kW for rapid charging. Since batteries are charged with DC power, the OBC’s primary role is to convert AC input into a DC charging voltage suitable for the battery, typically around 400V, with an increasing trend towards 800V for future models.

To ensure safe, reliable, and automatic charging, the OBC adjusts parameters like charging current or voltage based on data from the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and Battery Management System (BMS). This ensures the power battery’s charging requirements are met.
OBC External Structure
The OBC connects to the slow charging port and the high-voltage control box. It communicates with the VCU and BMS. To protect electronic components, it features DC output terminals, AC input terminals, low-voltage communication terminals, heat sinks, and cooling fans.

(1) DC Output Terminal
This terminal connects to the power battery via the high-voltage control box. Pin A is the negative output, and Pin B is the positive output.
(2) AC Input Terminal
This terminal connects to the slow charging port. Pin 1 links to the L (AC phase), Pin 2 to the N (neutral), Pin 3 to the PE (ground), Pin 4 is unused, Pin 5 to the CC (charging confirmation), and Pin 6 to the CP (control pilot).
(3) Cooling Fan
During high-current, long-duration charging, the OBC generates heat. To prevent damage, it reduces charging current if cooling is inadequate. OBCs typically use air cooling, while integrated chargers may use water cooling.
OBC Circuit Principle
(1) Voltage Conversion Process
The OBC converts 220V AC to a stable DC voltage, then to high-frequency AC, and finally to the appropriate DC charging voltage. This process reduces size, weight, and improves efficiency compared to traditional transformers.

(2) Circuit Components
The control circuit acts as the “brain,” managing the main circuit’s operations.
The main circuit converts 220V AC to the required DC voltage, with PFC (Power Factor Correction) and LLC (LLC Resonant Circuit) for efficiency and power density.
OBC Protection Functions
To prevent damage from overcurrent and overvoltage, the OBC includes:
- Input overvoltage cut-off
- Input undervoltage alarm
- Input overcurrent and undercurrent cut-off
- DC output overcurrent cut-off
- Output short-circuit cut-off
- Output electrode reverse connection protection
