Methods and apparatuses for voltage dip stabilization in a motor vehicle are described herein. The apparatus of one embodiment includes a first connection for connecting the apparatus to an energy source, in particular to a vehicle battery and a second connection for connecting the apparatus to a starting apparatus of a motor vehicle. The apparatus also includes a current-limiting module for limiting a starter current, a control unit for driving the current-limiting module, and at least one starting process detector, which is connected to the control unit, for identifying a starting process. The control unit, on the basis of a starting process signal from the starting process detector, prompts the current-limiting module to carry out a starter current-limiting measure.

Apparatus for voltage dip stabilization in a motor vehicle

A voltage stabilization device is proposed for use in a motor vehicle. The voltage stabilization device comprises a first terminal for connecting the device with an energy source, in particular to a vehicle battery; a second terminal for connecting the device having a starting device of a motor vehicle; a current limiter module for limiting a starting current; a control unit for controlling the current limiting module, and at a starting operation detector coupled with the control unit for detecting a starting operation, wherein the current limiting module carries out a starter current limiting action on the basis of a start signal of the process startup detector.

Device for voltage stabilization in a motor vehicle

A capacitive switch is comprises a sensor area and with a reference surface in which the sensor surface and the reference surface are configured to produce an electric field (E) between them. The sensor surface and the reference surface are arranged substantially in a common plane such that an electrical field (E) is formed between them with an arched line of force. A coupling surface is configured to move in a plurality of directions in space with respect to the sensor surface and reference surface. A lighting element is configured to illuminate the capacitive switch when activated. A tactile feedback device provides feedback as the capacitive switch is being actuated.
