ηDCDC
Efficiency of the DC-DC converter
CO2 correction factor , as defined in paragraph 2.2 of Appendix 2 to Sub-Annex 8 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.
The efficiency of the DC-DC converter (ηDCDC ) shall be evaluated in accordance with the appropriate vehicle architecture, as specified in Table 7:
Table 7
F1Efficiency of the DC-DC converter for different vehicle light architectures
| # | Architecture | ηDCDC |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lights connected in parallel to the low voltage battery (lights fed directly from the high voltage battery via DCDC converter) | 0,xx |
| 2 | Lights connected in series after the low voltage battery, and the low voltage battery connected in series to the High voltage battery | 1 |
| 3 | High Voltage and low voltage batteries have exactly the same voltage (12 V, 48 V,…) as the lights | 1 |
For architecture #1, the efficiency of the DC-DC converter (ηDCDC ) shall be the highest value resulting from the efficiency tests performed in the operative electric current range. The measuring interval shall be equal or lower than 10 % of the operative electric current range.
