Figure 11. BCI externally powered

Circuit description

The BCI Is powered by the external power supply, through pin 1 (minus) and pin 10 (plus). The
coils of contactors K1, K2 and K3 are connected to the pre-charge driver, the main contactor
low and the main contactor high drivers of the BCI. D1, D2 and D3 are to absorb the back-
EMF of the contactor coils. Some contactors have built-in back-EMF diodes or transient
diodes. In that case it is advised not to install D1, D2 and D3. The pre-charge resistor should
be tailored to the application. See 5.6.4 for calculating the pre-charge.
