A power system that provides power between an energy storage device, an
external charging-source/load, an onboard electrical power generator, and
a vehicle drive shaft. The power system has at least one energy storage
device electrically connected across a dc bus, at least one filter
capacitor leg having at least one filter capacitor electrically connected
across the dc bus, at least one power inverter/converter electrically
connected across the dc bus, and at least one multiphase motor/generator
having stator windings electrically connected at one end to form a
neutral point and electrically connected on the other end to one of the
power inverter/converters. A charging-sourcing selection socket is
electrically connected to the neutral points and the external
charging-source/load. At least one electronics controller is electrically
connected to the charging-sourcing selection socket and at least one
power inverter/converter. The switch legs in each of the
inverter/converters selected by the charging-source/load socket
collectively function as a single switch leg. The motor/generators
function as an inductor.
