  • SINGLE DISCONNECT SWITCH FOR MULTIPLE BATTERY SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20240109422
    Abstract: An electrical system for providing electrical power to an electric machine, where the electrical system includes a single point disconnect switch for multiple battery systems. The single point disconnect switch may be remotely mounted. In some examples, operation of the disconnect switch disconnects a first battery system, e.g., a 12 VDC nominal battery system, which, in turn, causes a disconnection of a second battery system, e.g., a 48 VDC nominal battery system.

  • Injector deposit detection for SCR injection system
    Patent number: 10337385
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an SCR injection system is disclosed. The method includes operating a pump, and measuring a first pressure drop value in the SCR injection system during actuation of a reductant injector. A second pressure drop value in the SCR injection system is measured during a further actuation of the reductant injector. It is determined to perform a deposit mitigation strategy based on the first pressure drop value and the second pressure drop value.
