    [0001] The present invention relates to the safe exchange of electrical energy between an electrical consumer of an electrical circuit of an assembly and an electrical source. an electrical network outside the assembly. In particular, the invention relates to a safe charging method of an electrical energy storage unit of an electric traction system of a vehicle from a domestic electrical network.
    [0002] The invention particularly relates to the field of electric or hybrid vehicles. In such vehicles, an electric motor, generally three-phase, serves or at least participates in driving the vehicle. It is powered by an energy storage unit that it is necessary to recharge periodically. It is known to recharge the storage unit using a fixed power supply installation, such as a domestic electrical circuit powered by alternating current. The vehicle is connected to the installation and a circuit embedded in the vehicle can recharge the battery, including using a rectifier. The on-board electrical circuit can cause leakage currents, in particular through parasitic components located between the circuit and the chassis of the vehicle. Such leakage currents are likely to pass through an impedance placed between the frame and the ground, such as a person touching the vehicle body while his feet are in contact with the ground. We can still have the same problem if we touch the bodywork of one hand, and a metal equipment of the house with the other hand. The consequences of such a phenomenon on the body are more or less severe, ranging from the simple unpleasant sensation to electrocution. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is known to limit this risk of equipping the vehicle 1 with an earth conductor 2 making it possible to connect the chassis 3 of the vehicle 1 to a cable 4 for grounding an installation domestic electric 5, via an electrical connector 6a, 6b. In these figures, a flow of current through an electrical network 8, the domestic electrical installation 5 and an electrical circuit 7 of the vehicle is illustrated by arrows 9a, 9b, here in a phase / neutral configuration. A differential circuit breaker 11 is provided between the power supply network 8 and the domestic electrical installation 5. Its function is to detect the leakage currents and to cut the power supply in case of danger. In Fig. 1, a common mode current, illustrated by arrows 12, is present. Typically, the common-mode current includes a design-provided parasitic component that is substantially alternating and a fault component that may comprise an alternating and / or continuous signal. The fault component corresponds to an undesired event that causes an insulation fault. The common mode current reaches the chassis 3 via parasitic capacitance 13 or capacitors used for EMC purposes. The earth conductor 2 is here operational and the common mode current preferably returns chassis 3 of the vehicle to the domestic installation by said cable 4 grounding. Irrespective of the tripping of the GFCI circuit breaker 11, there is limited risk that a person 14 coming into contact with the chassis will be traversed by a portion of the common-mode current causing it damage. In Figure 2, the same common mode current is present but the earth conductor is faulty. He is here cut off. In this case, the common mode current passes through the person 14 in contact with the chassis, but the consequences of such a failure remain limited if the GFCI circuit breaker 11 is operational. Indeed, it cuts off power if the thresholds set for its release are reached, typically 30 mA for alternating currents at 50 Hz for the standards currently in force. The person 14 in contact with the frame 3 may perceive the crossing of the common mode current but the tripping of the operational circuit breaker will avoid any serious bodily injury. The examples illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprise a parasitic capacitance 13, but the fault may appear for any type of parasitic impedance between the circuit 7 and the chassis 3 of the vehicle. Another fault situation occurs when the person touches one of the wires of the electrical line connecting the electrical circuit 7 to the domestic electrical installation 5.
    [0003] The person is then protected by the GFCI in a manner similar to that described for Figure 2. However, in the development of electric and hybrid vehicles, it is preferable that the security of the load of the storage unit is relatively independent of the state of the differential circuit breaker 11 of the electrical installation. It must be ensured that, even if the differential circuit breaker 11 is faulty, the load of the storage unit remains safe for a user. In addition, to strengthen security, standards exist to limit the value of common mode current. In addition to the safety aspect, without common mode current compensation, a common mode current that is too high could flow through the power grid and be seen by the GFCI. However, depending on the sensitivity of the circuit breaker, this current can cause an inadvertent activation of the circuit breaker in normal operation. The European standards thus limit the maximum value of the common-mode current to a frequency of 50 Hz at 3.5 mA. In order to comply with these standards, an active filter seeking to reduce the common-mode current is known from the application US 2004/0004514. at high frequencies in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Application EP2571149 in the name of the Applicant is also known from a common mode current reduction circuit. It is sought integration of the electric functionalities in the vehicle which is less bulky and more effective. In this context, it is desired to obtain a fault detection during the electrical exchange between the consumer and the electrical source, in particular in the load of a storage unit from an external electrical source, making best use of the electrical features.
    [0004] For this purpose, the invention relates to the detection of failure during an exchange of electrical energy between an electrical consumer of a circuit of an assembly and an electrical source of a network external to the assembly, in a process and / or a device using the common mode reduction.
    [0005] In particular, the invention relates to an electrical device for a safe exchange of electrical energy between an electrical energy consumer of an electrical circuit of an assembly, in particular a vehicle, and an electrical source of an electrical network. outside said assembly, comprising: - a power line connecting the electrical network to said assembly, said line comprising electrical conductors in which a first part, called energy exchange line, is adapted to be connected to said power grid so as to allow an exchange of electrical energy between the source of electrical energy of said network and said energy consumer; and a second part, called the earth line, is capable of achieving an equipotential bond between the electrical mass of the assembly and the ground of the electrical network; a first measuring system capable of measuring a common-mode current flowing in one of the two parts of the power line during an exchange of energy between the electrical source and the consumer; at least one impedance connected by one of its terminals to the electrical exchange line of the electrical line or to a wire connected to an internal potential of the electrical circuit; an electronic component connected on the one hand to said first measuring system of the electrical circuit; common mode current, the component being configured to apply, between the ground line and another terminal of the impedance, an electrical magnitude allowing, when electrical energy is exchanged between the consumer and the source of electrical energy, to reduce the common-mode current flowing in the part of the electrical line whose current is measured by the first measuring system, - a second measurement system able to measure a residual current flowing in at least the part of the electrical line of which the current is not measured by the first measuring system, and - a control unit configured to detect a failure of the energy exchange when a their obtained from the current measured by the second measurement system is greater than a threshold value. The device is particularly suitable for performing a secure exchange of electrical energy between an electrical energy storage unit of an electrical circuit embedded in a vehicle and an electrical source of an electrical network outside the vehicle, for example from a terminal charging station or a domestic electrical installation. The storage unit is for example intended to power an electric traction system of the vehicle.
    [0006] By residual current is meant a resulting current flowing in one or more electrical conductors. In particular, in the case where there are several electrical conductors, the residual current is the algebraic sum of the currents flowing through said conductors.
    [0007] The wire connected to an internal potential of the electrical circuit is in particular an electrical conductor connecting a terminal of the impedance to an internal potential of the circuit so that the potential at the terminal of the impedance is equal to said internal potential of the electrical circuit.
    [0008] In particular, the electronic component applies an electrical quantity that is a function of the first measurement with a gain that depends on the difference between the value of the common mode current determined by the first measurement system and a reference value. The setpoint value is in particular less than or equal to 3 mA or 0.5 mA, or even less than or equal to 0.2 mA, or even substantially equal to zero.
    [0009] Thanks to the first measurement system, the impedance and the electronic component, a common mode current flowing in one of the parts of the electrical line, that is to say the energy exchange line or the line of land, is reduced. In normal operation, the common-mode current flowing in the other part of the power line is substantially equal and thus is also reduced.
    [0010] However, when a person directly touches a conductor of the power line or, in the case where the ground line is broken, when a user touches the mass of the assembly, an impedance that corresponds to that of the person appears . This untimely impedance changes the common mode current. The common mode current flowing on the part whose current is measured by the first measurement system will be compensated. But, in the line portion whose current is not measured by the first measuring system, the common-mode current is no longer substantially zero and increases because at least a part of the common-mode current flows in the impedance untimely. Thus, from the residual current measured in the part of the line whose current is not measured by the first measurement system, we obtain an indicator of a situation of failure of the energy exchange between the consumer and the electric source. According to one embodiment, the part of the electrical line whose current is measured by the first measurement system is the electrical exchange line and the second measurement system is able to measure a residual current flowing in at least the line of Earth. In other words, the common-mode current flowing in the electrical exchange line is compensated by a current generated by the electrical quantity applied to the impedance terminal, this impedance being connected by the other of its terminals to the line of electrical exchange or a wire connected to an internal potential of the electrical circuit. The residual current measured in at least the ground line makes it possible to detect a failure situation as explained above. According to one embodiment, the part of the electrical line whose current is measured by the first measurement system is the ground line and the second measurement system is able to measure a residual current flowing in at least the exchange line. electric. In other words, the common-mode current flowing in the ground line is compensated by a current generated by the electrical quantity applied to the impedance terminal, this impedance being connected by the other of its terminals to the exchange line. electric or to a wire connected to an internal potential of the electrical circuit. The residual current measured in at least the electrical exchange line makes it possible to detect a failure situation as explained above.
    [0011] According to one embodiment, the second measurement system is able to measure a residual current flowing in the part whose current is measured by the first measurement system and the part whose current is not measured by said first measurement system. In other words, the measurement system is able to measure the residual current circulating throughout the power line, that is to say in the electrical exchange line and in the earth line. According to one embodiment, the second measurement system is able to measure a residual current flowing only in the part whose current is not measured by the first measurement system. In other words, the second measurement system is able to measure a residual current flowing only in the ground line, if the electrical exchange line is the one whose current is measured by the first measurement system; or the second measurement system is able to measure a residual current flowing only in the electrical exchange line, if the ground line is the one whose current is measured by the first measurement system. According to one embodiment, the device comprises one or more switches, the control unit being configured to open them so as to interrupt the exchange of energy in the event of a failure. An example of a switch is an electromechanical relay. However any type of switch adapted to power applications can be considered. The invention also relates to a safe method of energy exchange between an electrical energy consumer of an electrical circuit of an assembly, in particular a vehicle, and an electrical source of an electrical network outside said assembly, comprising an energy exchange via an electrical line connecting the electrical network to said assembly and comprising electrical conductors in which a first part, called an electrical exchange line, is connected to said electrical network so as to allow an exchange electrical energy between the electrical power source of said network and said consumer; and a second part, called the earth line, realizes an equipotential bonding between the electrical mass of the assembly and the ground of the electrical network, at least one impedance being connected to the electrical exchange line of the electric line by one of its terminals or a wire connected to an internal potential of the electrical circuit; the method further comprising: - reducing a common mode current comprising: - a first measurement of a common mode current flowing in one of said parts of the power line; the application, using an electronic component receiving the first measurement, of an electrical quantity between the ground line and the other terminal of the impedance, said electrical quantity making it possible to reduce the circulating common-mode current in the part of the electrical line in which the first measurement is made, - a second measurement of a residual current flowing in at least the part which does not undergo the first measurement, and - the detection of a failure of the energy exchange when a value obtained from the current from the second current measurement is greater than a threshold value. The method notably carries out a secure exchange of electrical energy between an electrical energy storage unit of an electrical circuit embedded in a vehicle and an electrical source of an electrical network outside the vehicle, for example from a charging station or a domestic electrical installation. The storage unit is for example intended to power an electric traction system of the vehicle. According to one embodiment, the method includes failure detection when the value of the second measurement is greater than a threshold, in particular 5 mA or 3.5 mA. In normal operation, the second measurement is substantially equal to the first measurement because the common mode current flows in the electrical exchange line and then in the ground line or vice versa. In case of failure in the exchange of energy, especially when a person directly touches a conductor of the power line or, in the case where the line of ground is broken, when a person touches the mass of the whole, an untimely impedance corresponding to that of the person appears. This untimely impedance modifies the common mode current seen in the electrical exchange line or in the earth line. The common mode current flowing on the part whose current is measured by the first measurement system will be compensated. But, in the line portion whose current is not measured by the first measuring system, the common-mode current is no longer substantially zero and increases because at least a part of the common-mode current flows in the impedance untimely. By comparing the value of the second measurement with a threshold, or by comparing the absolute value of the difference between the first measurement and the second measurement with a threshold, it is possible to detect a common mode current value that is too great for the part of the uncompensated power line, meaning that a current flows in an untimely impedance, such as a person. According to one embodiment, the method comprises failure detection when the absolute value of the difference between the first measurement and the second measurement is greater than a threshold, in particular 3.5 mA or even 0.5 mA. This difference between the first measurement and the second measurement is for example obtained with a subtracter circuit. Performing the failure detection from the difference between the first and the second measurements results in a lower detection threshold.
    [0012] Thus, security is improved. According to one embodiment, the first measurement comprises measuring the residual current flowing in the electrical exchange line, and the second measurement comprises measuring the residual current in at least the earth line. Thus, the compensation of the common mode current is made from the electrical exchange line. According to one embodiment, the first measurement comprises measuring the residual current flowing in the ground line, and the second measurement comprises measuring the residual current in at least the electrical exchange line. Thus, the common mode current compensation is performed from the current measured on the ground line. According to one embodiment, the second measurement comprises the measurement of the residual current flowing only in the part of the power line that does not undergo the first measurement. Thus, if the electric exchange line is the one whose current is measured by the first measurement system, the second measurement of a residual current is carried out only in the ground line; or if the earth line is the one whose current is measured by the first measurement system, the second measurement of a residual current is carried out only in the electrical exchange line.
    [0013] According to one embodiment, the second measurement comprises measuring the residual current flowing in the part of the wire that undergoes the first measurement and in the part of the electrical line that does not undergo the first measurement. The second measurement comprises the measurement of the residual current flowing in the electrical line, that is to say in the electrical exchange line and in the earth line. This measurement is for example obtained using a torus surrounding all the conductors of the power line. According to one embodiment, the method comprises a step of opening one or more switches to interrupt the energy exchange in case of failure. An example of a switch is an electromechanical relay. However any type of switch adapted to power applications can be considered. According to one embodiment, the method comprises a step of stopping the energy exchange when a fault is detected. The current measurements can be made inter alia by a toroid, in particular a nanocrystalline core, or by resistive effect, inductive effect or by hall effect, or by any suitable means for measuring an electric current. The compensation of the common mode current is for example as described in the French applications FR20110058279 and / or FR20130051201 filed by the applicant whose contents are incorporated in the present application. The method is in particular implemented with a device according to the invention described above. In particular, the control unit of the device according to the invention is configured to implement the method according to the invention. The device according to the invention can be embedded in a vehicle or be placed outside the latter, for example being integrated into a charging terminal of the electrical network to which a connector of the electric circuit is connected for the purpose of transferring power. electrical energy between the source of electrical energy, via the terminal, and the electrical circuit. The electrical device can also be integrated with a charging cable of a storage unit of a vehicle.
    [0014] The threshold values of the device and the method according to the invention are for example those defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission in its standard IEC61851 in charging applications for an electric vehicle. The invention will be better understood with reference to the drawings, in which: FIGS. 1 and 2, already commented on, schematically illustrate the risks associated with recharging batteries of a state-of-the-art electric vehicle ; FIGS. 3 to 6 illustrate applications comprising a device according to one embodiment; FIGS. 7 to 10 illustrate applications comprising a device according to another embodiment. FIG. 3 shows a set 40 for which an exemplary device 10 according to the invention can be implemented. The assembly is a vehicle 40 with hybrid or electric propulsion in which the device 10 is embedded.
    [0015] A source of electrical energy 30 of an electrical network outside the vehicle is adapted to be connected via a connector to an electrical circuit 23. The electric circuit 23 is in the example considered embedded in the vehicle 40, then part of the circuit electric propulsion of this vehicle. When it is desired to charge an electrical energy storage unit 20 of the electric circuit 23, the electric power source 30 supplies, for example, an alternating voltage to the electric circuit 23. In the example considered, the network is single-phase and the voltage at the terminals of the electric power source 30 has an effective value equal to 230 V. The frequency of the voltage is 50 Hz in the example considered. The electric circuit 23 is for example a voltage converter configured to charge the storage unit 20 from the electrical source 30 via an electrical line 100. In particular, the electrical circuit 23 provides a DC voltage to the storage unit 20 from an AC voltage supplied by the electrical source 30. The electric circuit 23 may comprise inductances and a rectifying stage of the AC voltage supplied by the electrical energy source 30. output 24+ and 24- of the circuit 23 then deliver a DC voltage to the storage unit 20. The electric circuit 23 is still called charging circuit in what follows. In the application where the circuit 23 is embedded in the vehicle 40, the inductances correspond for example to the windings of the stator phases of an electric motor for the propulsion of the electric motor. The windings can then be connected to the electrical network according to the teaching of application WO 2010/057892. The rectifying stage may comprise controllable switches such as transistors. The stage is for example a PFC component, known to those skilled in the art for rectifying an alternating voltage, adapting the value of the rectified voltage to the storage unit 20, and comply with the standards in force as regards the value of the factor of power and the emission of harmonic currents.
    [0016] The vehicle 40 further comprises a metal frame 22 which produces an electrical mass of the vehicle 40. The device 10 comprises an electrical line 100 which connects the electrical network to the vehicle 40 so as to allow the charging of the storage unit 20. Indeed, the electrical line 100 comprises electrical conductors, among which a part, called electrical exchange line 100a, performs the electrical exchange between the electrical source 30 and the storage unit 20. Another part of the electrical conductors, called 100b earth line, performs an equipotential bond between the earth 32 of the electrical network and the electrical mass 22 of the vehicle 40.
    [0017] In the case where the electrical power source 30 of the electrical network provides a polyphase alternating voltage, and during a sequence of operation of the switches of the rectifier stage, a current flows from the electrical source 30 to the storage unit. 20 and vice versa, via the electrical exchange line 100a, so as to obtain a load of the storage unit 20. However, parasitic impedances, also known as common mode impedances, may exist between the circuit 23 and the electrical ground 22 of the vehicle 40. In FIG. 3, these impedances are modeled by Cybat capacitors connected on the one hand to the output terminals 24 +, 24- of the charging circuit 23 and on the other hand to the electric mass 22 of the vehicle 40. It should be noted that these impedances can also be inductive or resistive type. Due to the existence of these parasitic impedances, a common mode current i can flow from the circuit 23 to the frame 22 and, circulating in the ground line 100b, loop back into the electrical network, to pass in the line of electrical exchange 100a to the circuit 23. To reduce the common mode current, the device 10 comprises a first measurement system 101, an electronic component 110 and at least one impedance 120. The first measurement system 101 measures a current of common mode flowing in the electrical exchange line 100a. This measurement is transmitted to the electronic component 110. This generates an electrical quantity, such as a voltage or a current, between the mass 22 of the vehicle 40 and a terminal of the impedance 120. This electrical quantity is determined from the common-mode current measured by the first measurement system 101. The electronic component 110 applies a gain G which is a function of the difference between the value measured by the first measurement system 101 and a setpoint value for the common-mode current, for example zero. The impedance 120 is connected by another of its terminals to the conductors of the electrical exchange line 100a so as to inject a compensation current of the common mode current into the electrical exchange line 100a. Thus, the common-mode current flowing during the energy exchange between the electrical source 30 and the electrical storage unit 20 is compensated. Preferably, for each conductor of the electrical line 100a, an impedance 120 has one of its terminals connected to the compensation electronic component 110 and the other of its terminals connected to the respective conductor of the electrical exchange line 100a. In addition, the device 10 comprises a second current measurement system 102 which enables it to detect failure cases during the energy exchange. The second current measurement system 102 measures a residual current flowing in at least a portion of the conductors of the power line 100, this portion comprising the ground line 100b. This will be better understood with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. A failure situation may occur when a person touches a conductor of the electrical exchange line 100a as illustrated in FIG. 4. A common mode current Itouché then flows between the conductor and the earth 32 via the person 50. This current corresponds to the Icomp compensation current generated by the electrical quantity applied by the compensation electronic compensation 110. This Icomp current circulates in the earth 32 to loop back through the ground line 100b to the electrical ground 22 of the vehicle 40, to then go through the impedance 120 compensation. The compensation current Icomp compensates for a common mode current Imes1 measured by the first measurement system 101 on the electrical exchange line 100a. Following the compensation, the common mode current Imesl measured by the first compensation system is then less than or equal to 0.5 mA, or even less than or equal to 0.2 mA, or even substantially equal to zero. However, the common mode current flowing on the earth line 100b corresponds to the compensation current Icomp and is therefore not zero. Thus, by comparing the value of the Icomp common-mode current flowing on the earth line 100b with a threshold value, it is possible to detect a situation of load failure of the storage unit 20, in particular a situation in which a person touches a conductor of the electrical exchange line 100a. The compensating current Icomp is measured on the ground line 100b by the second measurement system 102. For example, if the value of the common-mode current measured on the ground line 100b is greater than 3.5 mA, or even 5 mA, a dangerous failure situation for a person 50 is detected. Alternatively, the absolute value of the difference between the common-mode current Icomp flowing on the earth line 100b and the common-mode current measured by the first measurement system 101 can be compared with a threshold value. Using this difference makes it possible to take into account lower thresholds, which improves the safety of the person 50. For example, if the absolute value of the difference between the common-mode current Icomp measured on the ground line 100b and the current common mode Imesl measured on the electrical exchange line 100a is greater than 0.5 mA, or even 3.5 mA, a dangerous failure situation for a person 50 is detected.
    [0018] Another situation of failure can appear when the ground line 100b is cut off as illustrated in FIG. 5. As long as a person 50 does not touch the frame 22, the ground line 100b being cut off, no common mode current flows. . When a person 50 touches the frame 22, a common mode current flows from the chassis 22 to the earth 32 via the person 50. The common mode current loops back through the earth 32 and the electrical exchange line 100a. . This common-mode current corresponds to the current Imes1 measured on the electrical exchange line 100a by the first measurement system 101. The common-mode current Imes1 is compensated by the electronic component 110 which delivers an electrical variable generating a compensation current Icomp . This compensation current is injected into the electrical exchange line 100a via the impedance 120 to compensate the common mode current Imesi flowing upstream of the injection point of the compensation current Icomp. The sum of the compensation current Icomp and the common-mode current Imesi flows in the circuit 23. The compensation current Icomp then loops back to the impedance 120 by the electrical ground 22 of the vehicle 40, and the common-mode current Imesi loops back to the person 50 via the electrical mass 22 of the vehicle 40. The person 50 only sees the common mode current Imes 1 which will be compensated by the compensating current Icomp to be less than or equal to 0.5 mA or less than or equal to 0.2 mA, or substantially equal to zero. Thus, the danger situation for the person 50 is diminished. In addition, a failure detection can be provided as soon as the common mode current Imes 1 is installed. Indeed, the common mode current is installed on the electrical exchange line 100a while there remains zero on the line. 100b. The second measurement system 102 measures the current flowing in the ground line 100b. Thus, by measuring the current flowing in the earth line 100b, it can be detected that the common-mode current flowing in the earth line 100b remains zero while the common-mode current Imes 1 measured on the exchange line Electric 100a varies. It is also possible to use the absolute value of the difference between the common mode current Imesi flowing on the electrical exchange line 100a and the current measured on the ground line 100b, in order to compare it with a threshold value. For example, if the absolute value of the difference between the common-mode current measured on the earth line 100b and the common-mode current Imesi measured on the electrical exchange line 100a is greater than 0.5 mA, or even 3 , 5 mA, a dangerous failure situation for a person 50 is detected. Furthermore, the cut of the earth line 100b can be detected as soon as it occurs or at the initiation of the exchange of energy between the electrical source 30 and the energy storage unit 20, thanks to the second system of Measurement 102. The common-mode current flowing at the initiation of the energy exchange can be from the parameters of the vehicle 40 and the circuit 23 which determine the parasitic impedances Cybat. When the current flowing in the earth line 100b remains zero, a significant anomaly of a failure situation is detected. It is also possible for the compensated common-mode current to remain equal to a non-zero reference value, so that a zero value of the common-mode current measured on the ground line 100b by the second measurement system 102 indicates a cut-off of the 100b land line.
    [0019] FIG. 6 illustrates an application comprising a variant of the device 10 illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5. In this variant, the second measurement system 103 directly measures the difference between the common-mode current flowing in the electrical exchange line 100a and the common mode current flowing in the ground line 100b. The second measurement system 103 thus measures the residual current flowing in the electrical line, that is to say in the electrical exchange line and in the earth line. The measurement system 103 may comprise a torus crossed by the electrical exchange line 100a and the ground line 100b so as to perform a magnetic detection of the resulting current. In normal operation, the second system 102 measures a virtually zero current, for example less than 100 1.1A. It gives a more precise and less noisy measurement than the result of a difference between two measurements obtained by two different measurement systems. It is therefore possible to use a detection threshold less than or equal to 0.2 mA or even 0.1 mA. One can also have a high defect detection bandwidth, 20kHz for example. Indeed, the noise flowing in the conductors of the power line 100 will cancel each other. FIG. 7 illustrates another example of device 10 according to the invention in an application similar to that illustrated in FIG. 3. The device 10 in FIG. 7 differs from that illustrated in FIG. 3 in that the first measurement system 101 measures a current common mode traveling in the land line 100b; and in that the second current measurement system 102 measures a residual current flowing in at least a portion of the conductors of the power line 100, this portion comprising the electrical exchange line 100a. In particular, in the device illustrated in FIG. 7, the compensation of the common mode current is made from the current measured on the earth line 100b; whereas in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the compensation of the common-mode current is made from the current measured on the electrical exchange line 100a. Failure detection with this exemplary device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.
    [0020] When a person 50 touches a conductor of the electrical exchange line 100a as illustrated in Figure 8, a common mode current Itouché then flows between the conductor and the earth 32 through the person 50. This current corresponds at uncommitted Imes2 common mode current flowing on the electrical exchange line 100a. This current Itouché flows in the earth 32 to loop back through the electrical exchange line 100a to the person 50. The first measurement system 101 measures a common mode current Imesl flowing in the ground line 100b. A compensating current Icomp is generated by the electronic component 110 to reduce the common mode current Imes1 flowing in the ground line 100b. This compensating current Icomp flows in the impedance 120, in the circuit 23, then loops back by the electric mass 22 to the impedance terminal 120connected to the electronic component 110. Following the compensation, the common mode current Imes1 flowing in the ground line 100b is then less than or equal to 0.5 mA, or even less than or equal to 0.2 mA, or even substantially equal to zero. However, the common mode current Imes2 flowing on the electric exchange line 100a is not compensated because there is an inadvertent impedance corresponding to the person 50. Thus, by comparing the value of the common mode current Imes2 flowing on the 100a electrical exchange line with a threshold value, it is possible to detect a situation of load failure of the storage unit 20, in particular a situation in which a person 50 touches a conductor of the electrical exchange line 100a. The common mode current Imes2 flowing in the electrical exchange line 100a is measured by the second measurement system 102. For example, if the value of the common mode current Imes2 measured on the electrical exchange line 100a is greater than 3 , 5 mA, or even 5 mA, a dangerous failure situation for a person 50 is detected. Alternatively, the absolute value of the difference between the common mode current Imes2 flowing on the electrical exchange line 100a and the common mode current Imes1 flowing on the ground line 100a and measured by the first measurement system 101 can be compared. with a threshold value. Using this difference makes it possible to take into account lower thresholds, which improves the safety of the person 50. For example, if the absolute value of the difference between the common mode current Imes2 measured on the electrical exchange line 100a and the common mode current Imesl measured on the ground line 100b is greater than 0.5 mA, or even 3.5 mA, a dangerous failure situation for a person 50 is detected. Another situation of failure can appear when the ground line 100b is cut off as illustrated in FIG. 9. As long as a person 50 does not touch the frame 22, the ground line 100b being cut off, no common mode current flows. . When a person 50 touches the frame 22, a common mode current Itouché flows from the frame 22 to the earth 32 through the person 50. The common mode current Itouché loops through the earth 32 and the exchange line 100a, reaches the electrical circuit 23 then the parasitic impedances Cybat and the chassis 22 to the person 50. This common mode current Itouché corresponds to the current Imes2 measured on the electrical exchange line 100a by the second measurement system 102 Thus, by comparing the value of the common mode current Imes2 flowing on the electrical exchange line 100a with a threshold value, it is possible to detect a load failure situation of the storage unit 20, in particular when a nobody touches the frame 22 while the ground line 100a is cut off. For example, if the value of the common mode current measured on the power exchange line 100a is greater than 3.5 mA, or even 5 mA, a dangerous failure situation for a person 50 is detected. It is also possible to use the absolute value of the difference between the current Imes1 measured on the ground line 100b by the first measurement system 101 and the common mode current Imes2 flowing on the electric exchange line 100a, in order to compare it with a threshold value. For example, if the absolute value of the difference between the common mode current Imes1 measured on the earth line 100b and the common mode current Imes2 measured on the electrical exchange line 100a is greater than 0.5 mA, or even 3.5 mA, a dangerous failure situation for a person 50 is detected. Furthermore, the cutoff of the earth line 100b can be detected as soon as it occurs or at the initiation of the exchange of energy between the electrical source 30 and the energy storage unit 20, thanks to the first system of Measurement 101. The common-mode current flowing at the initiation of the energy exchange can be provided from the parameters of the vehicle 40 and the circuit 23 which determine the parasitic impedances Cybat. When the current flowing in the earth line 100b remains zero, a significant anomaly of a failure situation is detected. It is also possible for the compensated common-mode current to remain equal to a non-zero reference value, so that a zero value of the common-mode current measured on the earth line 100b by the first measurement system 101 indicates a break in the 100b land line.
    [0021] FIG. 10 illustrates an application comprising a variant of the device 10 illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9. In this variant, the second measurement system 103 directly measures the difference between the common-mode current flowing in the electrical exchange line 100a and the common mode current flowing in the ground line 100b. The second measurement system 103 thus measures the residual current flowing in the electrical line 100, that is to say in the electrical exchange line 100a and in the ground line 100b. The second measurement system 103 may comprise a torus crossed by the electrical exchange line 100a and the ground line 100b so as to perform a magnetic detection of the resulting current. In normal operation, the second system 102 measures a virtually zero current, for example less than 100 1.1A. It gives a more precise and less noisy measurement than the result of a difference between two measurements obtained by two different measurement systems. It is therefore possible to use a detection threshold less than or equal to 0.2 mA or even 0.1 mA. One can also have a high defect detection bandwidth, 20kHz for example. Indeed, the noise flowing in the conductors of the power line 100 will cancel each other. In all the applications described above, when a fault is detected, it may result in the opening of switches in order to interrupt the energy exchange. These switches are for example relays 130 located on the electrical line 100, in particular between the electrical source 30 and the electric circuit 23. The interruption of the energy exchange can also be obtained by stopping the conversion. of energy produced by the electric circuit 23. The invention is not limited to the examples described. In particular, the compensation current may be injected elsewhere in the circuit 23, in particular at an internal potential of the circuit 23, such as a positive or negative output terminal 24- of the circuit 23. This is for example described in FIG. French application FR20110058279 in the name of the applicant.
