FAQs 6

How does a pre-charge circuit protect the inverter?

Pre-charge circuits protect the inverters by controlling the initial power surge. PTC thermistors can help a pre-charge circuit protect the inverter. Inrush current occurs when the maximum instantaneous input current flows through a system when the electrical power is switched on.

Do I need to pre-charge my inverter?

All of our large inverter and inverter/charger kits include the required resistor to allow you to safely pre-charge it. If you have a lithium battery bank, it’s really important to pre-charge your inverter (2000W+) to protect your BMS. Nevertheless, pre-charging is still necessary if you have AGM batteries.

What happens when DC voltage is applied to an energy storage inverter?

When DC voltage is applied to the input of an energy storage inverter, large inrush currents will occur as the DC bus capacitance will initially appear as a short. Without the use of a pre-charge unit, these inrush currents can damage the batteries, the capacitors and IGBTs.

Why do batteries need a DC pre-charge unit?

Batteries have extremely high short circuit capacities. This results in them being able to provide an extremely high peak inrush current to the inverter DC bus. This inrush current needs to be mitigated with the use of DC pre-charge assemblies. Dynapower’s CPS and DPS product lines come with integrated pre-charge units.

Why do inverters pre-charge a DC-BUS?

Why pre-charging an inverter’s DC-bus? Nowadays, Voltage Source Converter (VSCs) are widely used in grid-tied applications. They indeed offer several benefits over Current Source Converters (CSCs), such as reduced filtering requirements, superior efficiency and easier use in weak grid conditions.

How to charge a DC inverter?

Pre-charging an inverter is simple. You just need to connect a suitable resistor between the DC load and inverter for a few seconds. Then, remove the resistor and connect the DC load to the inverter. The following method breaks this down, step by step. Connect the inverter to your negative and positive busbars.
