Good explanation of contactors and precharge circuit: http://liionbms.com/php/precharge.php
A poor discussion on the subject: http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php/gigavac-contactor-faultyi-23236.html Off the top of my head, it is suggested that these rules be broken at various points in the discussion
- Do use the correct suppression system for your contactor -- make sure it turns on and off fast enough, make sure not to blow up the circuit driving the contactor
- Do use a precharge resistor capable of continuous operation
- Don't apply power to the controller all the time through the precharge resistor
- Do use an appropriately rated precharge contactor
- Do monitor the system to ensure the contactor is working.
Some useful contactors and fuse links:
