Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for supplying power to a load in a vehicle with a DC voltage source includes: a first connection of the DC voltage source; a second connection of the DC voltage source; and a multicore line configured to transmit voltage from the DC voltage source to the load. The first connection of the DC voltage source is connectable to the multicore line and the second connection of the DC voltage source is connectable to a ground potential.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 6 . (canceled) 7 . An apparatus for supplying power ( 1 ) to a load ( 2 ) in a vehicle with a DC voltage source ( 10 ), the apparatus comprising: a first connection ( 11 ) of the DC voltage source ( 10 ); a second connection ( 12 ) of the DC voltage source ( 12 ); and a multicore line configured to transmit voltage from the DC voltage source ( 10 ) to the load ( 2 ), wherein the first connection ( 11 ) of the DC voltage source ( 10 ) is connectable to the multicore line ( 14 ) and the second connection ( 12 ) of the DC voltage source ( 12 ) is connectable to a ground potential ( 16 ). 8 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the ground potential is formed by the vehicle ground ( 16 ). 9 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the multicore line ( 14 ) is an Ethernet cable. 10 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the voltage source ( 10 ) provides a voltage of 12 volts or 24 volts between the first connection ( 11 ) and the second connection ( 12 ). 11 . The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a respective current limiter is arranged at a feed point for a wire or for a pair of wires in the multicore line ( 14 ). 12 . A method for supplying power to a load ( 2 ) in a vehicle with an apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , the method comprising: connecting the first connection ( 11 ) of the DC voltage source ( 10 ) to the multicore line ( 14 ); and connecting the second connection ( 12 ) of the DC voltage source ( 10 ) to the ground potential ( 16 ).
