Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical system in a motor vehicle, the system having a traction network and an on-board network, the traction network having a high-voltage battery, a pulse inverter and an electric machine, the high-voltage battery being thermally coupled to a transistor of the pulse inverter, means for detecting the temperature of the battery cells of the high-voltage battery, and a gate driver arrangement being designed to detect the temperature of the battery cells of the high-voltage battery. When the temperature of the battery cell falls below a threshold value, a switch is made to a heating mode in which the gate driver signal for switching on the transistor has a lower voltage than in the normal mode, and at least one galvanically isolated DC / DC converter is provided. The DC / DC converter has an input to which an on-board electrical network voltage is applied and an output to which a drive voltage for the gate driver assembly occurs, the DC / DC converter having a control circuit on the input side, which is designed to reduce the output voltage on the DC / DC converter as a function of a signal for a heating operation. The invention also relates to a method for heating battery cells of at least one high-voltage battery in an electrical system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical system in a motor vehicle and a method for heating the cells of at least one high-voltage battery in the electrical system in a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Motor vehicles are known which have a traction grid with a high-voltage battery, which in turn has a plurality of battery cells. At low temperatures, power extraction can be limited. It is therefore known to preheat the battery cells. This can be achieved, for example, by means of a separate heating device. Alternatively, it is known to use the heat loss of components already present in a targeted manner, which are then thermally coupled to the battery cells in order to preheat the battery cells in a targeted manner. [0003] An electrical system in a motor vehicle is known from DE 11 2008 000 360 T5, wherein the system has a traction grid and an on-board grid. Furthermore, the traction grid has at least one high-voltage battery, a pulse in...
