Santa Rosa, California, July 24th, 2023 – In the past, automobiles had minimal electrical systems and relied mainly on mechanical systems. Today, there are many electrical functions such as seat heating and cooling, comfort systems, and assistance systems that draw a lot of electricity from the battery. In a 12V vehicle electrical system, higher and higher currents must flow. To prevent the on-board network from failing, manufacturers are installing a second, stronger network in the car in parallel with 48V direct current (48 VDC).
