  • Patent number: 11668216
    Abstract: A method for providing a power supply for at least one electrically heatable catalyst of a motor vehicle situated in an exhaust gas tract, wherein the motor vehicle comprises a first battery, by means of which a first voltage U1 is generated, and a second battery, by way of which a second voltage U2 is generated, wherein the at least one catalyst during a start phase immediately following the start of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle is supplied by a power P1 provided by the first battery such that the voltage U1 of the first battery is imposed on the at least one catalyst, wherein the at least one catalyst is additionally supplied during the start phase by a power P2 provided by the second battery such that the voltage U2 of the second battery is transformed by a DC converter to the value of the voltage U1 which is imposed on the at least one catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20220242188
    Abstract: A method for operating at least one electromechanical actuator of a motor vehicle, wherein the actuator is designed to convert mechanical power into electrical power during operation of the motor vehicle in stochastic feed-in processes as a function of a feed-in efficiency predetermined by a feed-in operating point of the actuator, which electrical power is fed into an energy storage device of the motor vehicle, includes detecting the start of a feed-in process by a means of detection and, at the start of the feed-in process, setting a feed-in operating point of the actuator, wherein the feed-in efficiency is 50% or less.

  • Publication number: 20220131359
    Abstract: A method detects an arc fault in an electrical circuitry. The electrical circuitry includes a controller, an energy storage and a plurality of loads each connected to the energy storage via a respective load path. A current measuring device determines current measurement values describing an energy storage current is assigned to the energy storage. Voltage measuring devices for determining voltage measurement values describing a load voltage at the respective load are assigned to said loads. The current measurement values and voltage measurement values are continuously transmitted to the controller via at least one communication link.
