The Role of HV Relays in EV Charging Stations

In EV DC charging stations, main, pre-charge and isolation relays serve separate roles; bidirectional (V2G) capability is critical.

Overview

In DC fast charging stations, HV relays manage the main power path, pre-charge circuit and connection isolation.

Circuit Architecture

  • Main contactor for high current to vehicle battery
  • Pre-charge relay for controlled DC link capacitor charging
  • Isolation relay for service safety
