The invention discloses a vehicle or machine starting circuit. In application, a controller can output a control signal that controls a transistor to be connected while controlling a controllable switch to remain disconnected, the control signal is transmitted to the transistor via electrical isolation equipment, the transistor is then connected, and under the action of current limiting resistance, capacitors in a main control electric circuit are slowly charged; after the capacitors are fully charged, the controller controls the controllable switch to be closed, the transistor and the currentlimiting resistance are in short circuit, and electricity supply of control electric circuit can be achieved by the controllable switch to meet electricity demand of loads. Therefore, instantaneouscurrent can be reduced when equipment with large capacitance such as a motor driver and a switching power supply are charged to improve electricity performance of the machine by applying the vehicle or machine starting circuit, increasing of the maximum discharge current of a battery or charging by groups is not needed, reliability of the machine can be guaranteed, and cost is lowered. In addition, the invention further discloses a vehicle or machine stating method which has the same effect as above mentioned.
