Release time:2025-07-18 15:33:14

    The Battery Pack Main Relay (BPMR) is a critical component in the power management systems of electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and other battery-powered applications. It plays a fundamental role in ensuring the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of the battery pack by controlling the connection between the battery and the vehicle’s electrical system. Understanding the functions and importance of the BPMR is essential for anyone involved in the design, maintenance, or operation of electric vehicle technology.

Battery Pack Main Relay

    What is the Battery Pack Main Relay?
    The Battery Pack Main Relay is an electromechanical switch that manages the power flow between the vehicle’s battery pack and its electric drive system. It is responsible for connecting or disconnecting the battery from the rest of the vehicle's electrical components, particularly the traction motor and power inverter. When the relay is closed, the battery is active and supplies power to the vehicle. When the relay is open, it isolates the battery from the vehicle, preventing further discharge or any potential hazards.
