This paper presents an isolated medium-voltage, high-power-quality and high efficiency (over 96%), fast charger for plug-in electric vehicles. The proposed fully modular fast charger uses off-the-shelf Silicon Carbide (SiC) power devices to convert the rectified single-phase 2.4 kV medium-voltage input to variable dc output. The adopted input-series-output-parallel unidirectional topology enables converter scalability in both the input voltage and the output power. Using wide bandgap (WBG) power devices enables 9 times reduction in volume and 6 times reduction in weight, compared to the state-of-the-art fast chargers, while exceeding the efficiency of the state-of-the-art fast chargers by more than 1.5% Based on the system requirements, the appropriate converter topology was selected, its operation was simulated and validated by experiments on the developed fast charger prototype.
