Abstract
A vehicle electrical system includes a first system branch with a first nominal voltage U, a second system branch with a second nominal voltage U2, at least one DC/DC converter configured to transmit energy between the first and second system branches, a first actuating unit to actuate the DC/DC converter(s), a first detection unit to detect an instantaneous voltage Uof the first system branch, and a comparison unit to compare the detected instantaneous voltage Uto a first upper voltage threshold value Uand to a first lower voltage threshold value U, wherein U<U<U. The first actuating unit actuates the DC/DC converter(s) such that energy is transmitted from the first system branch to the second system branch if U>U, and such that energy is transmitted from the second system branch to the first system branch if U<U.
