The present disclosure relates to motor vehicles. The teachings thereof may be embodied in the operation and control of an externally excited electrical generator in an on-board electrical system of a motor vehicle. An example method may include: setting the excitation voltage within the scope of regulating an actual output voltage of the generator at a predetermined setpoint output voltage of the generator; evaluating load requirements of at least one peak load consumer supplied from the on-board electrical system; identifying exceptional situations based on the load requirements; and in the event of an exceptional situation, setting an associated temporary excitation output voltage of the generator.

Controller for a separately excited electric generator in a vehicle electrical system of a motor vehicle

A method for conveying a metered hydraulic volume in a vehicle braking system by an electrically driven motor pump assembly, wherein a mechanical pump of the motor pump assembly is driven by an electric motor of the motor pump assembly. A rising motor voltage ramp is applied to the electric motor, a motor current being detected, and a conveying mode of the motor pump assembly starting as soon as a motor torque generated by the motor current exceeds a total of drag torque, breakaway torque and friction torque of the motor pump assembly. The motor current reduces when the conveying mode starts. The method is characterized in that, when a reduction in the motor current is detected after a specified time interval has elapsed, a motor voltage is reduced to a value which ends the conveying mode. The invention further relates to a vehicle braking system.
