[0004] Existing technology is based on background Figure 1 Implemented in the following way:
[0005] V is the input high voltage, and C1 is the capacitor that needs to be pre-charged. After the input high voltage is energized, switch S1 is closed, and V charges C1 through R1 until the voltage across C1 is close to the voltage of V. Then S2 is closed to realize the pre-charging function of C1 and avoid the very large inrush current generated by the high voltage V directly charging C1.
[0006] Description of existing technical deficiencies:
[0007] The existing technology involves V charging C1 through resistor R1. When current flows through R1, an energy loss of 0.5C1*V*V is generated, which is entirely converted into heat energy on the resistor, thus wasting a certain amount of energy. Utility Model Content

The parallel circuit on both sides of capacitor C2 consists of inductor L1, diode D2, transformer TR2, and field-effect transistor FET2. The transformer TR2 is set with an appropriate turns ratio (to increase the voltage of battery V2 to V1, for example: V2 input 24V, V1 output 600V, select a turns ratio of 1:40); pulse is driven by digital signal processor DSP through driver chip to switch - field-effect transistor FET2 (duty cycle).

[0026] The electrical energy in the battery is controlled by PWM chopping through FET2, amplified by transformer TR2, rectified by diode D2, and filtered by inductor L1 to generate a voltage of a certain amplitude, which is then applied to capacitor C2 to charge it.
