6 FAQs about [Support capacitor pre-charging circuit composition]

Can a large bulk capacitor be used with a pre-charge circuit?

A large bulk capacitance can be used with the designed pre-charge circuit to execute hold-up events. Other small capacitors that are within the specifications of the BCM® could be used separate from the pre-charge circuit that immediately become charged and provide the necessary start up support.

What is a pre-charge circuit?

The pre-charge circuit is a critical aspect of any high-voltage system with a capacitive load. Pre-charging prevents high inrush currents from damaging system components when the high-voltage source first connects to the capacitive load. Connecting a voltage to a capacitance causes an instantaneous current spike.

How long does it take for a capacitor to precharge?

And the precharge gets activated. After 3 seconds (when Capacitor's state of charge is 90%), the pin 1 should stop giving 12 V input to NO relay and should give 12 V input to contactor via pin 3. If, after 3 seconds, the capacitor's SOC is not 90%, the circuit shouldn't activate.

How many ohms does a capacitor need to charge?

The resistor selected for the pre-charge is 600 Ohms and it can charge the Capacitor to 100% voltage by 3 seconds. If it didn't charge to 90% by 3 seconds, then rest of the circuit shouldn't activate. The Capacitance of the capacitor is 500 microfarad. Initial Current going through the capacitor during the charging is 0.5 Amps (max).

How does a DC link capacitor charge a battery?

In the pre-charge state, the pre-charge contactor and the HV negative contactor are closed as shown in Figure 2. The DC link capacitor charges to nearly the same voltage as the voltage source. After the pre-charge state, the precharge contactor opens and the HV positive contactor closes to drive the system or charge the battery.

Does a precharge contactor have to be rated for full battery voltage?

Since the precharge circuit is directly connected to the battery, both the contactor and the resistor must be rated for full battery voltage. The precharge contactor and resistor must also be able to handle the precharge current and power dissipation.
