DC/DC CONVERTER OVERLOAD MANAGEMENT IN VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

A method of operating an electrical system including an electrical power source configured to supply a first DC voltage at a first voltage level and a DC/DC converter coupled to the electrical power source and configured to supply a second DC voltage is provided. The method includes monitoring a level of current supplied by the DC/DC converter, determining, based on monitoring of the level of the current, that the DC/DC converter is saturated, and in response to determining that the DC/DC converter is saturated, regulating a level of voltage output by the DC/DC converter. Related DC/DC converters and vehicle electrical systems are disclosed.
