1. A vehicle comprising:
- a motor for traveling the vehicle;
a main power supply configured to store electric power that is supplied to the motor;
a power converter configured to convert electric power of the main power supply into driving power of the motor;
a system main relay configured to connect and disconnect the main power supply with the power converter;
a first auxiliary machine configured to operate with electric power lower than an output voltage of the main power supply;
an auxiliary machine battery configured to output the same voltage as a driving voltage of the first auxiliary machine;
a first voltage converter connected to the main power supply via the system main relay, the first voltage converter being configured to step down the output voltage of the main power supply to the driving voltage of the first auxiliary machine;
a second voltage converter connected to the main power supply without passing through the system main relay, the second voltage converter being configured to step down the output voltage of the main power supply to the driving voltage of the first auxiliary machine;
a first power line connecting an output terminal of the first voltage converter with the auxiliary machine battery;
a second power line connecting an output terminal of the second voltage converter with the first auxiliary machine;
a third power line connecting the auxiliary machine battery with the first auxiliary machine;
a first diode disposed in the third power line, an anode side of the first diode being connected to the auxiliary machine battery and a cathode side of the first diode being connected to the first auxiliary machine; and
a second diode disposed in the second power line, an anode side of the second diode being connected to the second voltage converter and a cathode side of the second diode being connected to the first auxiliary machine.

Abstract
A vehicle includes a system main relay, a first voltage converter, a second voltage converter, a first diode disposed in a third power line and configured to prevent a reverse flow of a current from the first auxiliary machine to the auxiliary machine battery, and a second diode disposed in a second power line and configured to prevent a reverse flow of a current from the first auxiliary machine to the second voltage converter. Therefore, according to the vehicle, even when the auxiliary machine battery is short-circuited, the first diode can prevent a reverse flow of a current and the second voltage converter can continuously supply electric power to the first auxiliary machine.
