Operating Functions

The 14 V power module is an electronic device that takes the place of the generator on a traditional vehicle. On a hybrid or electric vehicle the 14 V power module converts high voltage (300 V) direct current (DC) to low voltage (12 V) DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12 V battery.

Normally, the 14 V power module only supplies 12 V DC when the vehicle is under a normal drive cycle. However there are certain instances when the vehicle is being charged through a standard wall socket where the 14 V power module operation is required to sustain the 12 V battery.

The 14 V power module is capable of supplying up to 130 Amps of 12 V DC.
