A high voltage direct current soft-start circuit is provided in which a first end of a first switch is connected to a negative electrode of a high voltage direct current, a first end of a second switch is connected to the negative electrode of the high voltage direct current, and a drive control unit is connected separately to the first switch, the second switch, and a load, where a first part of a connector is connected to the drive control unit, and upon power-on, the first part of the connector communicates with a second part of the connector, to trigger the drive control unit to drive the first switch to turn on. The drive control unit delays a preset time after driving the first switch to turn on, drives the second switch to turn on, and drives the load to start after the second switch is turned on.
