Relay assembly and electric vehicle comprising same

A relay assembly for connecting an inverter of a device driven by a battery as a power source to the battery, the relay assembly comprising:

• a switching unit configured to connect or disconnect the battery and the inverter, and
• an electromagnet unit installed to operate the switching unit, the electromagnet unit being configured to rotate a plurality of contacts of the switching unit by magnetic force, and the plurality of contacts are configured to be connected and disconnected based on a degree of rotation by the electromagnet unit,
• wherein the switching unit comprises
• a battery connection terminal connected to the battery;
• an inverter connection terminal connected to the inverter;
• a lever extending in a first direction from a portion of the battery connection terminal;
• a main contact bar connected to a portion of the lever and extending obliquely in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
• a pre-charge contact bar connected apart from the portion of the lever, extending obliquely in the second direction, and including a contact resistor, and
• a contact bar extending from a portion of the inverter connection terminal to come into contact with the main contact bar and the pre-charge contact bar.
