Patent ID: 11824397

Abstract:
A device for controlling a pre-charge current generated when electrically connecting a first terminal and a second terminal, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise: a switch for controlling a magnitude of a current flowing between the first terminal and the second terminal; a first resistor for generating a base voltage of a first transistor in proportion to a magnitude of the pre-charge current flowing between the first terminal and the second terminal; the first transistor for limiting the magnitude of the pre-charge current when a voltage generated by the first resistor is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold voltage; a photocoupler for receiving, in a state insulated from a first power source, an optical signal from the first power source and supplying power; a capacitor charged by the power supplied by the photocoupler; a second transistor for controlling the magnitude of the pre-charge current on the basis of a charging voltage of the capacitor; and a second resistor for controlling an operating time of the second transistor along with the capacitor.
