The goal of the precharge circuit is to limit inrush current at system power-up. Depending on the system voltage, the capacitance value, and the intended design, precharge can take as little as a few milliseconds or as long as several seconds.
Precharge is a process of charging the DC link capacitance in a controlled manner with a limited current before activating the HV to DC bus (or DC link). Precharge is the initial phase within the HV activation process in the HV DC system. Why is Precharge Essential?
By incorporating a pre-charge resistor and forming a pre-charge loop in the battery management system of electric vehicles, the voltage stress on components in the control system can be greatly reduced, the impact current in the circuit can be lowered, so the damage to relays can be prevented, ensuring the safe use of the power battery.
The precharge circuit usually consists of a separate, smaller contactor connected in series with a resistor. These two components are then wired in parallel across the main contactor (Figure 2). The precharge circuit is commonly found on the positive leg, but it could just as easily be installed on the negative leg.
During the charging process, excessive charging current can cause significant impact on relays and rectifier devices. Therefore, a reasonable and effective pre-charging circuit is essential for the safe charging process of the vehicle.
By systematically regulating the capacitor charging process, precharge ensures that inrush currents are kept within manageable limits, thus safeguarding the integrity and longevity of the components within the HV system. How is Precharging Performed?
