Abstract: A motor vehicle has a high-voltage battery and two separate electric machines. Each electric machine is associated with a power electronics unit, and each power electronics unit has a DC-to-DC converter. Each DC-to-DC converter is designed to reduce a high voltage of the high-voltage battery to a predetermined voltage. The two DC-to-DC converters of the two power electronics units are connected electrically in parallel and are set to different voltage values.

Abstract: An electric connecting module (12) for an electric component (10) of a motor vehicle (40) has a connecting section (22) with at least two electrical contacts (36). A connecting housing (24) has a connecting opening that can be connected to the connecting section (22). The connecting housing (24) has at least one cable opening (18) that opens laterally on the connecting housing (24) in relation to the connecting opening for routing electric connecting lines (14) through the connecting opening (18) and to connect them to the contacts (36). The connecting housing (24) can be connected to the connecting section (22) in different rotational positions to route the connecting lines (14) in different directions in relation to the electric component (10).
