The increase of electric vehicle (EV) batterychargers connected to electric networks could lead to futureharmonic problems in power systems. These loads are non-linear devices that inject harmonic currents and pollute networkvoltages. Thus, battery charger modeling must be studied indetail to determine their harmonic emissions and prevent futureproblems. This paper investigates EV battery charger behavior,analyzes its equivalent circuit and reports a model for eachconduction mode of the circuit. Experimental measurementsand PSpice numerical simulations support the study.
