Abstract
For an electrical unbalanced load of a vehicle having an at least partially electrified drive train with at least one high-voltage system, information about a value characterizing an energy quantity of a Y capacitor of the high-voltage system is determined. The information about the electrical unbalanced load is finally determined by comparing the determined characterizing value with a threshold value.
Claims6
A method, comprising:
- determining first information about an electrical unbalanced load of a vehicle having an at least partially electrified drive train having at least one high-voltage system, by
- determining a value characterizing an energy quantity of at least one Y capacitor of the high-voltage system, wherein the value is a voltage of the high-voltage system, a partial voltage of the high-voltage system, value related to the partial voltage of the high-voltage system, a relationship of voltages of the high-voltage system, or a relationship of isolation resistances of the high-voltage system;
- providing a first threshold value related to a capacitance of the at least one Y capacitor;
- and
- determining the first information about the electrical unbalanced load by comparing the determined characterizing value with the provided first threshold value;
- and
- introducing first and second correction resistances, depending on the determined first information, to reduce an energy quantity of one of the at least one Y capacitor that affects the unbalanced load, wherein the introducing of the first and second correction resistances comprises manually introducing the first correction resistance into a first socket of the at least one high-voltage system and manually introducing the second correction resistance into a second socket of the at least one high-voltage system.
