International Classification:

H01H 47/04

US Classification:

361160

Abstract:

A battery control module for a battery system includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) module that generates N PWM signals. The battery control module also includes a contactor control module that consecutively applies the N PWM signals to close a contactor in order to connect a battery to a load. Application of a first one of the N PWM signals moves the contactor at a first velocity from an open position and application of a second one of the N PWM signals moves the contactor at a second velocity to a closed position. The first velocity is less than the second velocity. N is an integer greater than one.

Abstract:

A voltage management system is provided. The voltage management system includes a computer readable medium. The computer readable medium includes a conversion configuration table that stores configuration information associated with plurality of voltage signals, where the configuration information is associated with an analog-to-digital conversion process; and a voltage information management module that manages the analog-to-digital conversion of the plurality of voltage signals based on the conversion configuration table.
