Kia Soul EV (PS EV) 2015-2020 Service Manual / EV Battery System / High Voltage Battery Control System / Pre-charge Relay Description and Operation

Description

Installed in the Power Relay Assembly (PRA), the Pre-charge Relay connects high voltage circuit when pre-charging the inverter capacitor.

When the IG is ON, the current coming through the pre-charge relay and the resistor charges the capacitor in the inverter and when the capacitor is fully charged, the pre-charge relay turns OFF.
