Electrical network for a vehicle, having at least one component that can be activated
First Claim
1. An electrical network for a vehicle, comprising:
- a first circuit comprising a first power source and at least one first electronic component powered by the first power source;
a second circuit comprising a second power source and at least one second electronic component which can be activated and is powered by the second power source;
an alternator injecting electrical current into the network when it is driven to power the first and/or the second power source(s);
a link member between the first and the second circuits, the link member allowing, in a first configuration, an exchange of current of a first value between the first and the second circuits and, in a second configuration, an exchange of current of a second value between the first and the second circuits, the second value being lower than the first value;
a control unit controlling the configuration of the link member; and
a switch, in addition to the link member, wherein the switch and the alternator are arranged in the network so that the alternator is linked to the first power source or to the second power source.

Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical network (1) for a vehicle, comprising: a first circuit (2) comprising a first power source (7) and at least one first electronic component (8) powered by the first power source (7); and a second circuit (3) comprising a second power source (10) and at least one second electronic component (11) which can be activated and is powered by the second power source (10). The network (1) also comprises: a connecting member (5) between the first (2) and second (3) circuits, said connecting member (5) allowing, in a first configuration, an exchange of current of a first value between the first circuit (2) and the second circuit (3) and, in a second configuration, an exchange of current of a second value between the first circuit (2) and the second circuit (3), in which the second value is lower than the first value; and a control unit (17) which controls the configuration of the connecting member (5).

16. A method for managing an electrical network of a vehicle, the network comprising:
-
a first circuit comprising a first power source and at least one first electronic component powered by the first power source, a second circuit comprising a second power source and at least one second electronic component which can be activated and is powered by the second power source, a link member allowing, in a first configuration, an exchange of current of a first value between the first and the second circuits and, in a second configuration, an exchange of current of a second value between the first and the second circuits, the second value being lower than the first value, a control unit controlling the configuration of the link member, and an alternator injecting electrical current into the network when it is driven to power the first and/or the second power source(s), the method comprising; reducing or preventing, by the control unit acting on the link member, the exchange of current between the first and the second circuits, at least when the second electronic component is activated, wherein the electrical network comprises a switch in addition to the link member, the switch and the alternator being arranged in the network so that the alternator is linked to the first power source or to the second power source depending on the position of the switch. - View Dependent Claims (17)
