Abstract

Un sistema de frenos de estacionamiento de vehículo incluye un puente de potencia. El puente de potencia está conectado de manera eléctrica a una fuente de alimentación primaria y a una fuente de alimentación secundaria. El puente de potencia tiene un primer estado en el que la fuente de alimentación primaria está activa, en el que la fuente primaria está conectada de manera eléctrica a un accionador de freno de estacionamiento. El puente de potencia tiene un segundo estado en el que la fuente de alimentación primaria no está activa, en el que la fuente de alimentación secundaria está conectada de manera eléctrica al freno de estacionamiento.
