    摘要: An electric circuit for a high-voltage network of a vehicle. The high-voltage network includes at least two electrical energy stores. The electric circuit includes at least one first switching unit, one second switching unit, and one third switching unit electrically connected to the poles of the electrical energy stores and allowing a parallel and a series connection between the two electrical energy stores. The electric circuit includes at least one fourth switching unit and one fifth switching unit electrically connected to one pole connector each and to one consumer connection. The consumer connection is makes electrical contact with an electrical consumer or a charging unit. The switching units are switchable between an electrically disconnecting and connecting states. The fourth and fifth switching units are galvanically isolating in an electrically disconnecting state. The first switching unit, the second switching unit, and the third switching unit are designed as semiconductor components.

    摘要: An electric vehicle includes a reconfigurable energy storage system with a first submodule and a second submodule. An interface circuit is operable to transfer a charging power to the reconfigurable energy storage system from a charging station that is external to the electric vehicle. A switching circuit is operable to electrically arrange the first submodule and the second submodule in series or in parallel. A diode is operable to convey the charging power between the first submodule and the second submodule while the reconfigurable energy storage system is arranged in series and the charging power is present. A bias circuit is operable to maintain a reverse bias across the diode while the reconfigurable energy storage system is arranged in series and the charging power is absent.
