An anti-short circuit structure (10) of a high-capacity relay, the structure (10) comprising a housing assembly (100) and a pushing assembly (200). The housing assembly (100) comprises two static contacts (110), a first magnetically conductive block (120), a cover body (130), a transition block (160), and a yoke plate (140). The first magnetically conductive block (120) is disposed on an inner side surface of the top part of the cover body (130). The pushing assembly (200) comprises a fixing support (210), a stop piece (220), a movable reed (230), a second magnetically conductive block (240), an elastic member (250), and a push rod (260). The fixing support (210) comprises two fixing side arms (211) and a receiving plate (212). One end of the stop piece (220) is connected to the tail end of one fixing side arm (211), and the other end of the stop piece (220) is connected to the tail end of the other fixing side arm (211). Two ends of the movable reed (230) are disposed facing the two static contacts (110) respectively, and the second magnetically conductive block (240) is disposed facing the first magnetically conductive block (120). The first magnetically conductive block (120) and the second magnetically conductive block (240) are used to form magnetic flux. In the described anti-short circuit structure (10), when a coil is excited, the positions of the first magnetically conductive block (120) and the second magnetically conductive block (240) do not change due to overtravel. A magnetic air gap does not increase as overtravel increases, and an increase in overtravel does not affect magnetic attraction and does not affect the anti-short circuit function of the relay.
