  • Method for operating a braking system
    Patent number: 12221085
    Abstract: A method for operating a braking system, wherein a switchable connection between two connection points is open in normal operation, and a voltage difference across the switchable connection is reduced by recuperation before said switchable connection is closed, which serves to compensate for a disturbance in an on-board electrical system. As a result, it is possible to avoid excess currents in the event of the closing of the switchable connection.
    Type: Grant
