There is a shift in the technology of vehicles from gas and diesel engines to electric vehicles(EVs). Approximately ten million EVs were available globally in 2020 and it is projected that number will reach 145 million by 2030. To power the increasing number of EVs, the number of EV charging stations is growing at a significant rate. In order to provide flexibility and longer driving ranges to customers, the trend is to install DC fast charging stations. These chargers demand high power at low voltage, which our existing electrical distribution system cannot accommodate without major upgrades. Currently, bulky transformers are …
