Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an undervoltage protection circuit for a DC/DC converter of an electrified vehicle. The DC/DC converter generally operates in a first precharge stage, a second precharge stage and a buck mode. The undervoltage protection circuit comprises a threshold value switching unit which is connected with a controller and configured for receiving a control signal from the controller and switching among at least two predetermined undervoltage protection threshold values based on the control signal as received. The undervoltage protection circuit also comprises an undervoltage protection unit configured for outputting a signal indicating whether to activate an undervoltage protection based on a comparison between the switched undervoltage protection threshold value and a sampled voltage value from a high voltage side of the DC/DC converter. In the circumstance that the DC/DC converter operates in the buck mode, the undervoltage protection unit will activate the undervoltage protection such as to prevent a large current flowing from a low side voltage side to the high voltage side if the sampled voltage value is less than or equal to the switched undervoltage protection threshold value, and the DC/DC converter will continuously operate in the buck mode if the sampled voltage value is greater than the switched undervoltage protection threshold value. The present disclosure also relates to a method of undervoltage protection for a DC/DC converter of an electrified vehicle.

Abstract

The invention relates to a switch system (1) comprising a power line (2) for supplying a charge from a voltage source (+Vbat), said power line having a main switch (Q1) comprising a first main terminal (D) and a second main terminal (S), between which a main current (Ip) is intended to pass, and a control terminal (G) for selectively placing the main switch (Q1) in a closed, open or semi-closed state, the main switch (Q1) in its semi-closed state being equivalent to a variable resistor controlled by the control terminal and connected between the first and the second main terminal, characterized in that the switch system (1) further comprises a current-limiting device (3) designed to, when the main current (Ip) exceeds a maximum current threshold, decrease a control current (Ig) entering the control terminal (G), so as to cause the main switch (Q1) to transition from the closed state to the semi-closed state, so as to limit the main current.

Abstract

A method for controlling a multi-phase rotary electric machine is disclosed. The stator of the machine is controlled by a control bridge having a plurality of parallel mounted switching arms, with each arm comprising a high-side switch and a low-side switch connected at a center tap connected to a phase of said rotary electric machine. The machine operates as a generator and is connected to an electrical network on board a motor vehicle. The method involves short-circuiting a phase winding of the stator when a measurement of the voltage of said network exceeds a first predetermined value, and after this, activating a switching arm, the center tap of which is connected to said at least one short-circuited phase winding, during which the intensity in the short-circuited winding is measured, if the measured intensity is positive, the high-side switch of said activated switching arm is moved to the closed position, otherwise, it is moved to the open position.
