Features & Benefits
Programmable Charging Algorithms
The advanced microprocessor controls features fully programmable charging algorithms and profiles. Customers can program various charging parameters and select among many charging sequences that best meet their specific battery needs. Programmable parameters bulk charge voltage and current set points, float and equalize charge voltage and current set points, charging timers, voltage and temperature alarm set points, temperature compensation droop characteristics, dV/dt charge termination limit, and many other.
High Efficiency Soft Switching Power Conversion Technology
PowerCharge product line utilizes state of the art soft switching power conversion technology, which greatly improves efficiency and reduces electromagnetic interference. By eliminating the switching losses in the power semiconductor devices, higher switching frequencies are achieved thus reducing the size of the magnetic and capacitive components and increasing the power density of the charger.
Sealed and IP65 Compliant
To meet the stringent requirements of electric and hybrid vehicles and buses, the PowerCharge HV Series chargers are offered in an optional sealed, IP65 compliant package.
Remote Control Capability
Equipped with RS-232, RS-485 optional ports, PowerCharge extends its programmability and monitoring features to remote hosts such as PCs and PLCs. |
