Current brake system changes the kinetic energy into heat energy by friction-type of brake that the braking action is diverging into the air. The system has a device called a retarder that generates braking force. High-tech research on the high-speed response characteristics of retarders utilizing part of the braking energy of the retarder to save electrical energy consumption is already underway in advanced countries. In this paper, we propose DC-DC converter which converts 3-phase voltage generated from retarder to 24V DC voltage for battery charging and verify its validity through experiments.
