EV BMS Relay Challenges

High Voltage Switching

Modern EVs operate at 400V-1000V+, requiring relays with exceptional dielectric strength and arc suppression capabilities.

Safety Critical

BMS relays must provide fail-safe operation to protect against thermal runaway, overcurrent, and emergency disconnect scenarios.

Space Constraints

Limited space in battery packs requires compact relay designs without compromising performance or safety.
