KIA Niro: Power Relay Assembly (PRA)

Kia Niro - First generation - (DE) (2017-2022) - Service and Repair Manual / Service Highlight / Power Relay Assembly (PRA)

PRA Operation Sequence

Description

The Power Relay Assembly (PRA) consists of the positive and negative main relays, pre-charge relay, pre-charge resistor and battery current sensor. It is located inside the battery pack assembly and controls the high voltage power circuit between the high voltage battery and inverter by the control signal of BMS ECU.

Description

The high voltage battery system consists of the BMS ECU (Battery Management System ECU), Power
Relay Assembly (PRA), safety plug, battery temperature sensor, and battery ambient sensor.

Especially the BMS ECU controls SOC (State Of Charge), power, cell balancing, cooling and
Troubleshooting of the high voltage battery system.

The PRA includes main relays (positive, negative), pre-charge relay, pre-charge resistor and battery
current sensor.
