Abstract
A charging station performs communications by use of a superimposing/separating unit configured by connecting a capacitor, a coupling transformer and a capacitor to branch lines branching out respectively from a control cable and a grounded cable. An electric vehicle performs communications by use of a superimposing/separating unit configured by providing a coupling transformer to the control cable. A capacitor is also connected between the control cable and the grounded cable. Communications are allowed by the configuration of a closed loop circuit comprising the control cable, the branch line, the capacitor, a primary coil of the coupling transformer, the capacitor, the branch line, the grounded cable, the capacitor, and a primary coil of the coupling transformer.

25. A communication system comprising:
-
a power feeding device, and a vehicle connected to the power feeding device by two cables, and the vehicle having an electric storage device receiving power from the power feeding device, and communication of a control signal required for charge control of the electric storage device is performed through the cables, wherein one of the power feeding device and the vehicle includes a first superimposing/separating unit connected to two branch lines branched from the two cables, respectively, and performing superimposition of a communication signal different from the control signal onto communication through the cables and performing separation of the communication signal superimposed onto the communication through the cables, and a first communication unit transmitting and receiving a communication signal through the first superimposing/separating unit, and that another one of the power feeding device and the vehicle includes a second superimposing/separating unit located in one of the cables and performing superimposition of the communication signal onto communication through the cable and performing separation of the communication signal superimposed onto the communication through the cable, and a second communication unit transmitting and receiving a communication signal through the second superimposing/separating unit. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)
