Abstract: A power transmission system facilitates the location of an insulation fault in the power transmission system by providing a power transmission network, an insulation fault locating unit and a connecting line system which is electrically connected to the insulation fault locating unit and to the power transmission network. The connecting line system includes a switch constructed to interrupt and re-establish an electrical connection between the power transmission network and the insulation fault locating unit. A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, including a power transmission system and a method for operating a power transmission system, are also provided.

Abstract: A rail vehicle has at least one bogie and an electrical supply device with a fuse protection apparatus, a distributing apparatus, which is arranged in the rail vehicle interior and which is electrically connected to the fuse protection apparatus. A first housing is arranged in the rail vehicle under floor area and includes electrical components that are electrically connected to the distributing apparatus. The bogie, viewed in the direction of travel of the rail vehicle, is arranged between the distributing apparatus and the first housing. In order to provide a generic rail vehicle for which short cable paths are achieved and doubling of cables is avoided in a bogie area, the fuse protection apparatus is arranged in a second housing different from the first housing. The first and second housings, relative to the direction, are arranged on both sides of the bogie.

Abstract: Electric power is distributed over a plurality of load units of a rail vehicle. In order to reduce the adaptation complexity upon changing the configuration of the rail vehicle, the rail vehicle is divided into a group of sections. A group of distribution priorities is defined, and a distribution priority is allocated to each load unit, each of which is identified by a section variable and a priority variable. Power to be granted is ascertained in a granting process depending on power requirement, available power, and allocated distribution priority. Granting processes for a given priority variable value and for the section variable values assigned to at least one sub-group of the group of sections are carried out in a section cycle. A priority cycle is carried out in which a section cycle is carried out for the priority variable values assigned to a sub-group of the group of distribution priorities.
