About AC inverter pre-charging
In order to appropriately raise the DC bus voltage before the operation, a pre-charge circuit can be introduced between the converter and the grid, made of a three-phase set of resistors. These resistors can be later bypassed during normal operation, thanks to a software-controlled relay (K2).

6 FAQs about [AC inverter pre-charging]
Why do inverters need a pre-charge circuit?
Severe damage can occur to inverters when the inrush current is too great for 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.
Can a grid-tie inverter be pre-charged from the AC side?
This application note presents a technique for pre-charging the DC bus of a grid-tie inverter from the AC side. This technique is commonly used in imperix systems. Proper solutions for discharging the power converter is also addressed. Why pre-charging an inverter’s DC-bus?
How do I use an AC pre-charge circuit?
One way of implementing that AC pre-charge circuit is by using imperix’s handy Grid connection panel. It includes the three current-limiting resistors and the two relays (controllable from a B-Box controller), as well as an additional circuit breaker. When the converter is not switching and that its DC bus is not charged, all contactors are open.
How long does it take to charge a lithium ion inverter?
These loads will reduce the pre-charge current flowing to the inverter input capacitor, and they may even prevent full pre-charge. A pre-charge time of 5 to 10 seconds is usually sufficient, but the actual value will depend on your installation. In a lithium-ion installation, the EMS activates the relay (charge or load).
How to pre-charge a capacitor?
To pre-charge the equipment’s input capacitor, you must: Without going into detail on how to calculate resistor value and power rating, here are a few examples for limiting the current to 2 Amps: To determine minimum pre-charge time, you must take into account the parasitic loads in parallel with the inverter.
How does a voltage source inverter work?
This model extends the “Voltage Source Inverter” demo model by including pre-charging resis-tors connected to the three-phase source. These resistors are used to limit the inrush current during the initial charging of the DC-link capacitor. The inverter is controlled with an outer voltage control loop and an inner current control loop.
