CHARGING SYSTEM WITH A FIXED MAXIMUM CURRENT FOR ELECTRIC OR HYBRID VEHICLES

摘要

The invention relates to a charging system for a battery mounted in a vehicle, comprising a device for managing the pilot line (21) included in the vehicle and a charging station (23), the device for managing the pilot line (21) and the charging station (23) being able to be connected via at least one pilot contact (25) and an earth contact (27), the charging station (23) comprising means for measuring and means for analysing the electrical potential (Va) of said pilot contact (25). The device for managing the pilot line (21) comprises means for confirming the vehicle connection and the earth connection, modifying the electrical potential of said pilot contact (25) when the vehicle is connected to the charging station (23) in such a way as to enable said means for analysing the potential (Va) to detect the connection of the vehicle to the charging station (23), and the charging station (23) is configured in such a way as to supply a maximum intensity current that is higher or equal to a pre-determined fixed value.
