The connector () is made up of electroinsulator supports () carriers of at least one pair of terminals () capable of coupling to a plug said terminals (), being in a coupling position for said electroinsulator supports (), electrically joined to each other establishing a channel () for the passing of electrical energy towards said power load (), the method and system being made up of a connection () between a point () of said channel () near to the load () and after the connector (), whose connection passes through the connector (), in order to detect a voltage (V) and/or intensity in the second point (), which is compared with the voltage (V) of supply, and in the event of a sudden change being observed, said supply is cut off.

Method and system for preventing the formation of an electric arc in a connector which is inserted in a power load supply line

A system and method for preventing electric arcs in connectors feeding power loads and connector used, Comprising several connectors () interspersed in an electric power distribution network, integrating first and second releasable socket coupling supports () bearing at least one pair of terminals () which, in a first coupling position A, are electrically coupled, forming a channel () to a load (), which terminals (), in another decoupling position C of the supports (), are separated, it being possible to generate an electric arc, each connector () comprising a pair of electroconductive elements () which, in said position A or in intermediate decoupling position B, and before the terminals () reach said position C, form an auxiliary electric circuit () through which an electric warning signal is generated during a transition towards decoupling, there being a device () connected to the auxiliary circuit () which, upon receiving said warning signal, interrupts the electric feed to said channel () of the terminals () prior to their physical separation.

An electrical distribution box for vehicles with two networks at different voltage levels, comprising centralized electronic signal and power control means, including a microprocessor and electrical protection means, arranged on printed circuit boards in a casing, electrically connected to at least one DC supply source and to parts of the vehicle, incorporating at least one voltage converter () inside the distribution box (), on an independent printed circuit board () or in a differentiated area of a supporting plate of the control means, which board () or differentiated area is in a clear area of said casing, both in its upper part and in its lower part, electromagnetic screening means having been provided for the converter () inside the casing, and thermal dissipation means for the supporting plate of the converter ().

Electrical distribution box for vehicles having two networks with different voltage levels

The invention is designed for vehicles having two electrical power supply systems and corresponding differentiated voltage level charges and two batteries operating at a first and a second voltage level. A bidirectional voltage converter cooperates with both systems whose input and output stages are galvanically insulated and include a switch. The batteries are connected to said input and output at a first and a second voltage level so that said bidirectional converter can provide a first reduced voltage mode and a second increased voltage mode. The passive components, e.g. the magnetic components and capacitances, of said stages have been chosen to provide an identical transitional behavior in both modes when a disruption occurs in the regulating system either in the charge or the input voltage.
