Hate to say it Dorktain, but Raven is right here.
We dont know nearly enough about the Crucible or its function to claim to know what it does. We can guess and that is it.
In fact here is one part about the idea that Sovereign should be the power source or something like that which dosent quite hold water. In a normal cycle the Vanguard is not even near the Citadel when the Relay is opened, it merely broadcasts a signal and the Keepers handle it.
Beyond that Sovereign did shut down at least the Relays sourrounding the Citadel as the Actorus Fleet needs it open before they can help. But if Sovereign needed to transfer power into the Citadel to do this, espeically if it was in the amounts which the Crucible is supposed to put out he would have been much weaker in the battle against the fleet. I can say this for certain as despite the Reapers enormous power sources there are examples of it not beeing unlimited, like how a Reaper performing a sharp turn or landing on a planet has to direct power form their barriers to their Mass Effect fields (the ones for lowerings its mass) in order to pull it of.
If Sovereign had been forced to direct a massive amount of energy into the Citadel his barriers would have been serverily weakened and probably his weapons as well.
In fact from what we know the Crucible probably generates way more energy than even a Sovereign class Reaper. Nevermind that it is far bigger (we see the Crucible in comparision to the Citadel and to Dreadnoughts) but the Crucible energy output has been described as "unquantifiable." The Reaper may have a massive power source, but it has never (especialy considering their flaws) been described anywhere near terms like that.
And finally you would not need any extra energy to shut down the Relays by all logic. A simple shut down signal sent through the network should suffice.
