pre-charge resistor

Do you own or use a EV. Then this is a good place to discuss things.

pre-charge resistor

Postby Tom Thomson » Wed Aug 06, 2008 12:24 pm

My 84 volt system showed an impressive arc when the contactor pulled in. I now know that this was due to current inrush to the controller capacitors and decided that perhaps I should have a resistor across the points as recommended by Curtis. I attempted to buy one from EV-America and was told that they don't have them , don't use them and don't recommend them. Any thoughts?
