A high-voltage energy regulated conversion circuit (HVERCC) (12) for coupling
to a vehicle bus (24) includes a battery bus (28) and a heater bus
(29). A high-voltage battery pack (30) is electrically coupled to
the battery bus and a resistive load element (42) is electrically coupled
to the heater bus (29). A high-voltage energy converter (HVEC) module (22)
is electrically coupled to the vehicle bus (24), the high-voltage battery
pack (30), and the resistive load element (42). The HVEC module regulates
power on the vehicle bus (24), the battery bus (28), and the heater
bus (29) and operates in multiple functional modes including a constant
voltage mode, a constant current mode, and a constant battery current mode.
