    摘要: A power control apparatus includes: a first power supply device that supplies main power, a second power supply device that supplies auxiliary power, a power divider that divides the main power input from the first power supplier, a first controller connected to a first output terminal of the power divider to control power supply to a first in-vehicle load by connecting or disconnecting the main power and the auxiliary power, and a second controller connected to a second output terminal of the power divider to control power supply to a second in-vehicle load using the main power. The first controller and the second controller diagnose a power failure in cooperation with each other and supply redundancy power using the main power or the auxiliary power based on a power failure diagnosis result.

    摘要: An apparatus for determining a sensing error of a LDC, which controls and senses an output and an output cutoff of a first current inputted to a first load of a vehicle and an output and an output cutoff of a second current for charging a battery, includes a battery control device that senses the second current and a third current for discharging the battery; a power control device that receives the first current, the second current, and the third current and calculates a fourth current inputted to a second load for controlling the vehicle driving by controlling an operation of switching element; and a controller that determines whether the sensing error of the LDC occurs based on the first current, the second current, the third current, and the fourth current.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a control apparatus for sensing overcurrent of a DC motor of a vehicle. The control apparatus may include: a microcomputer configured to convert a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal into a digital signal for controlling the DC motor; a half-bridge driver configured to control switching of the DC motor; a regulator configured to supply power; and a noise removal filter. The microcomputer is configured to measure a voltage at an input of the half-bridge driver, compare a difference between on-voltage and off-voltage during each of PWM period with a predetermined threshold, and stop the DC motor when the difference exceeds the predetermined threshold a predetermined number of times.
