  • Patent number: 11837910
    Abstract: A power supply control apparatus includes: a first system capable of supplying electric power from a first power supply to a first load; a second system capable of supplying electric power from a second power supply to a load group including a second load and a third load having consumed electric power smaller than that of the second load; a plurality of load switches as defined herein; and a control unit configured to control the load switches so that backup control performed by the second system is executed by the electric power supply from the second power supply, in a case where an occurrence of a ground fault in the first system is detected, and when the control unit inspects as to whether the backup control can be executed, the control unit connects the load switch corresponding to the third load of the load group to execute the inspection.

  • Patent number: 11588346
    Abstract: A power supply control device includes a first system, a second system, an inter-system switch, a battery switch and a controller. The controller turns off an inter-system switch that connects and disconnects the systems and turns on a battery switch that connects and disconnects a second power supply to and from the second system in response to an abnormality of a first power supply or the second power supply being detected and thereafter turn on the inter-system switch and turns off the battery switch in response to determination that there is no abnormality in the power supplies. Before turning on the inter-system switch, when voltage difference between the power supplies is equal to or larger than a threshold, the controller performs convergence control, and after determining that there is no abnormality in the power supplies, the controller keeps the battery switch turned off while performing the convergence control.

  • Publication number: 20220306020
    Abstract: A power supply device includes: a first system; a second system; an inter-system switch configured to be able to connect and disconnect between the first system and the second system; a determining unit configured to keep the inter-system switch in an ON state in a normal time, and turn off the inter-system switch and determine which system a ground fault has occurred in, if detecting a ground fault of the first system or the second system; and a suppression circuit configured to suppress an electric discharge of the second power supply and supply electric power for ground fault detection to the second system, and the determining unit determines whether any ground fault has occurred in the second system or not, based on the electric power which is supplied from the suppression circuit to the second system.
