Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical network (1) for a vehicle, comprising: a first circuit (2) comprising a first power source (7) and at least one first electronic component (8) powered by the first power source (7); and a second circuit (3) comprising a second power source (10) and at least one second electronic component (11) which can be activated and is powered by the second power source (10). The network (1) also comprises: a connecting member (5) between the first (2) and second (3) circuits, said connecting member (5) allowing, in a first configuration, an exchange of current of a first value between the first circuit (2) and the second circuit (3) and, in a second configuration, an exchange of current of a second value between the first circuit (2) and the second circuit (3), in which the second value is lower than the first value; and a control unit (17) which controls the configuration of the connecting member (5).
