Abstract
A bidirectional inductive and conductive electrical apparatus can include: an inverter including a first inverter leg, a second inverter leg, and a control switch disposed between a first upper node of the first inverter leg and a second upper node of the second inverter leg; and an inductor component connecting a first middle node the first inverter leg and a second middle node of the second inverter leg, the control switch configured to connect the first upper node to the second upper node under an ON state during inductive power transfer and configured to disconnect the first upper node from the second upper node under an OFF state during conductive power transfer.
