Abstract

An on-board electrical system for motor vehicles has a battery, a generator and at least one normal consumer that is connected to the battery in a switchable manner. A DC voltage/DC voltage converter is connected on its primary side to the battery and on its secondary side to a high-load resistor. A switch connects the high-load consumer to a storage device in a first switching position, and to the primary side in a second switching position. A controller controls and operates the switch between the first and the second switching position. A device that detects the actual electrical power of the high-load consumer is associated with the high-load consumer, and is connected at the output end to the controller.
