Systems and methods for pre-charging short circuit detection in electric aircraft

A system for pre-charging short circuit detection in electric aircraft, the system comprising:

• a charging connector, wherein the charging connector comprises:
• a housing configured to mate with an electric aircraft port of an electric aircraft;
• at least a conductor configured to conduct a charging current to the electric aircraft;
• and
• at least a control signal conductor configured to conduct a control signal, wherein the control signal comprises at least a battery sensor signal;
• and
• wherein each of the at least a conductor and the at least a control signal conductor are configured to make a connection with a mating component on the electric aircraft port when the housing is mated with the electric aircraft port;
• and
• a controller communicatively connected to the charging connector, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive a circuit health datum and the at least a battery sensor signal, through the at least a control signal conductor, prior to initiation of charging of the electric aircraft;
• and
• disable initiation of charging of the electric aircraft as a function of the at least a battery sensor signal and the circuit health datum, wherein the circuit health datum comprises a short circuit datum.
