Determination of an unbalanced load in a high-voltage system and reaction to the same
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.
1. 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.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the provision of the first threshold value includes determining a total capacitance of the at least one Y capacitor and determining the first threshold value depending on the total capacitance.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining second information about the electrical unbalanced load by comparing the determined characterizing value with a provided second threshold value different from the first threshold value relative to the capacitance of the at least one Y capacitor.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
introducing a second measure, which is a warning, depending on the second information that does not reduce the energy quantity of the Y capacitor affecting the unbalanced load.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second sockets are arranged outside of a battery of the at least one high-voltage system.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first and second sockets are arranged under a service flap of the vehicle along with fuses of the vehicle.
