A secure system for charging a battery of a motor vehicle from a power supply network, which system is in a vehicle and includes a mechanism measuring frequency of the network, an injection mechanism injecting current pulses into the network, a mechanism measuring voltage between the ground and a neutral of the network, an analog filter filtering the measured voltages at high frequencies, a digital filter filtering the analog-filtered voltages at low frequencies, and a mechanism determining resistance between the ground and the neutral of the network on the basis of the digitally filtered voltages and an amplitude of the current pulses. The digital filter includes a mean value filter which determines a mean value based on N voltage measurements spaced apart by a time interval T+T/N, where T is the period of the network determined by the mechanism measuring the frequency of the network.

Secure on-board system for charging the battery of a motor vehicle from a power supply network

A device for measuring resistance of a ground tap and a charger for an on-board vehicle including the device. The device includes a current source and an ammeter disposed on a first electrical branch, provided to link a phase of a power supply network with the ground of the installation; a second electrical branch provided to link a neutral wire of the power supply network with the ground of the installation, including a resistor across terminals of which is connected a voltmeter, and a first capacitor in series with the resistor; and a third electrical branch is provided for linking the neutral wire of the network with the ground of the installation, and including, on the third branch, in parallel with the first capacitor and with the first resistor, a second capacitor of higher value than the first capacitor.
