AC inverter pre-charge current limiting system

In one embodiment, a vehicle pre-charge limiting system is disclosed. The system includes an inverter, a comparator, a latch circuit, and a microprocessor. The inverter inverts a first power signal into a second power signal. The comparator receives a first measured current of the second power signal and compares the first measured current to a predetermined current value. The comparator transmits a first control signal indicative of the first measured current exceeding the predetermined current value. The latch circuit transmits a second control signal to the inverter to discontinue inverting the first power signal and transmits a first latch signal. The microprocessor receives a first sense signal indicative of current of the first power signal and transmits a third control signal to the latch circuit. The microprocessor inverts the first power signal into the second power signal for a predetermined number of output periods.
