Abstract: An electrical circuit arrangement includes a traction battery, electrical connection for electrically coupling to a vehicle-external electric unit, and first and second high-voltage potentials. The circuit arrangement has two electric drive units each having an inverter and an electric three-phase motor electrically coupled thereto for driving the vehicle. The circuit arrangement is configured such that the two electric drive units can be electrically connected in series between the electrical connection and the traction battery such that the first electric drive unit increases the first high-voltage potential and the second electric drive unit increases the second high-voltage potential from the electrical connection to the traction battery. The inverters each have a capacitor between a potential line of the first high-voltage potential and a potential line of the second high-voltage potential.

Abstract: An insulation monitor for a high-voltage onboard electrical system of a motor vehicle is provided. A respective Y-capacitor is arranged between the positive potential and the vehicle earth and between the negative potential and the vehicle earth. The insulation monitor has a current or voltage source, a voltmeter for measuring at least one of the potentials, and is configured to apply a negative current by the current source when the potential measured by the voltmeter exceeds a predefined upper value and to apply a positive current by the current source when the potential measured by the voltmeter falls below a predefined lower value. The current thus being limited to a maximum permissible contact current in the case of an insulation fault and it is possible to infer the magnitude of the insulation resistances using the voltage measured by the voltmeter and the recharging current that has been fed in.
