Pre-charge for 230 V household appliances

Most common household appliances (TVs, LED drivers, etc.) have short inrush current (50-60 A). As I understand it is for charging input side capacitors. Can I use pre-charge system with resistor, to slowly charge the device? I need it because my AC…

How do I implement precharge for a 24 V, 1 kW inverter?

In this circuit here I tried making a pre-charge circuit to start up a 24 V, 1 kW inverter which would draw 40 A of power so is this circuit good? Why keeping the MOSFET in the linear region is not a good idea? Here is the graph I do need to start…

Why is this precharge circuit not functioning?

Although this question sounds basic but, I have been trying to implement this precharge circuit to safely turn on the inverter without overloading the system, however especially when I powered it on, the relay turned on in no time(didn't seem the…

Precharge Control for EV

I have a conventional precharging system consisting of a contactor and a resistor. What kind of way should I follow to control this with analog circuit elements in electric vehicles? Do you know a way? Or is there a sample project that I can review…

PCB design using SMD resistors for precharge

I want to redesign my precharge circuit. Currently I am using a bulky chassis mount resistor, which is adding an additional step in production. Instead I have seen some precharge PCBs use a string of SMD resistors in series to achieve the same…

What is a "snubberless" TRIAC? How does it compare to a standard device?

I was searching for a TRIAC to be used as part of a pre-charge circuit for large DC link capacitors, and found one (T435T-600FP) that is described as "snubberless". An on-line search did not find anything definitive, although it appears that they…

What amount of current (heat) can a pre-charge resistor handle?

I am designing a pre-charge circuit for an electric vehicle. I have a 50 W, 100 Ω resistor, and the capacitors in whole system are 1 mF in total. That gives me about 210 J of energy dissipated during the entire time of the precharge. Would this fry…
