Abstract

The various embodiments described herein include devices and components for chassis systems and/or assemblies. In one aspect, a multi-plane chassis assembly includes a plurality of pultruded frame members, a first subset of the pultruded frame members being arranged on a first structural plane, and a second subset of the pultruded frame members being arranged on a second structural plane, the first structural plane being at a different vertical position than the second structural plane. The multi-plane chassis assembly further includes a plurality of cross members connecting the plurality of pultruded frame members to one another, the plurality of cross members are connected to the plurality of pultruded frame members and arranged to maintain a geometric relationship between pultruded frame members of the plurality of pultruded frame members, where each cross member of the plurality of cross members extends between at least two structural planes.

Abstract

An electrical system for distribution of electrical power is described. The electrical system may include a polyphase motor, a direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) converter electrically coupled to an electrical power source and the polyphase motor to provide electrical power from the electrical power source to the polyphase motor, and one or more AC-to-DC converters electrically coupled to the polyphase motor to receive electrical power from the polyphase motor. A method for transferring an electrical power from an electrical power source to one or more devices is also described.

IPC Classes  ?

• B60L 53/22 - Constructional details or arrangements of charging converters specially adapted for charging electric vehicles
• B60L 53/62 - Monitoring or controlling charging stations in response to charging parameters, e.g. current, voltage or electrical charge
