CURRENT PROTECTION FOR AN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION COMPONENT IN AN ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE

摘要

A primary current threshold is fit between an electrical capacity and electrical load for an electrical distribution component. When a first measured current exceeds the primary threshold, a power limit for the battery powering the component is reduced. When a second measured current is less than a secondary current threshold, the power limit is increased. The primary and secondary thresholds may be set for a plurality of time periods.

1. A current protection method for an electrical distribution component in an electrified vehicle comprising:
reducing a first power limit for a battery powering the component when a first root mean square current exceeds a primary current threshold, the primary threshold and a secondary current threshold being based on electrical capacity and load for the component; increasing the reduced power limit when a second root mean square current is less than the secondary threshold.
