Low Voltage Relay Wiring – with Precharge

This wiring example shows how to connect a GRNbms MK3 system in a low-voltage setup, using three relays and a precharge resistor.
It is intended for 12 V or 24 V systems and uses the „Jump Start“ 12 V input for powering the BMS.

⚠️ Voltage Range: The BMS accepts only 10 V to 17 V at the Jump Start input.
If your battery voltage is outside this range (e.g. 24 V system), you must use a DC-DC converter to step the voltage down to a safe level.

💡 Using too high a voltage on the 12 V input can damage the BMS!

🔥 Always follow safety guidelines and consult a professional installer.
Incorrect wiring can cause damage, malfunction, or fire. Use at your own risk.

Components Overview

  • HV Battery: Supplies the low-voltage system (e.g. 12 V / 24 V)
  • Fuse: Protects the entire system from overcurrent
  • HV Relay Precharge: Routes current through the precharge resistor to limit inrush
  • HV Relay Positive: Connects main power after precharge
  • HV Relay Negative: Closes the negative path to the load
  • Precharge Resistor: Limits inrush current to the inverter during startup
  • Current Shunt: Measures current flowing to the inverter
  • Inverter: The main load (can be any DC consumer)
  • Jump Start Input: Powers the BMS directly with 12 V via GND / 12 V input pins

BMS Power Supply (LV Mode)

  • Connect 12 V to the Jump Start input on the BMS
  • The BMS uses this input to power itself – no high voltage required

Relay Control

The BMS controls all three relays directly via its outputs:

  • Precharge relay closes briefly to limit inrush
  • Positive and Negative relays close after precharge completes
  • The BMS monitors all timing and status automatically

👉 We recommend using relays with economizer to avoid unnecessary load on the BMS power supply
