Abstract
A system and method for controlling cycling of high voltage contactors is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a first contactor command and activating the contactor in response to the first contactor command. A timer is initiated upon generation of the first contactor command. The method also includes determining whether a second contactor command should be generated subsequent to the generation of the first contactor command. The method further includes activating the contactor in response to the second contactor command being generated when the timer has expired.
