    摘要: An apparatus for the charging of an electric battery unit of a vehicle, wherein the apparatus comprises an interface for connecting the battery unit to one or more of: a first electrical contact element of a pantograph and a second electrical contact element of the pantograph. The interface comprises one or more connectors. The connector comprises first and second electrically conductive members. The first electrically conductive member comprises a longitudinal side for electrical contact with one of the first and second electrical contact elements while the second electrically conductive member comprises a longitudinal side for electrical contact with the other one of the first and second electrical contact elements. The first and second electrically conductive members are spaced apart from one another. The connector comprises one holder for holding the first and second electrically conductive members, the holder being attachable to the vehicle. A vehicle including such an apparatus.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for connecting one or more electric battery units to an electrical system. The method comprises: maintaining a system short-circuit which short-circuits the electrical system; while the system short-circuit is maintained, electrically connecting a first electric battery unit, which is locally short-circuited by a local short-circuit, to the electrical system so as to include the first electric battery unit in the electrical system; and while the system short-circuit is maintained, removing the local short-circuit of the first electric battery unit, whereupon the first electric battery unit is short-circuited by the system short-circuit of the electrical system. The method may be performed as a part of an electrical system installation procedure in for example a hybrid or electric vehicle and allows the electric battery units to be connected to the electrical system in a safe way.
