Overview Features Specifications Applications FAQ

The Power and Control Bay (PCB) is a dedicated power and control unit that incorporates input and output power distribution and cabling along with advanced user interface and microprocessor controls.

The rack based design allows for easy integration with the PowerCharge LV charging drawers and implements the system level controls and the advanced charging algorithms. The PCB allows for parallel operation of charging drawers and automatically configures the charger based on the number of charger drawers installed providing redundant operation and uninterruptible service.

Advantages:
• Modular, reconfigurable, and redundant system
• Compact size
• Advanced intelligence and controls

Applications:
• Industrial electric vehicles:
    - Electric forklift trucks

    - Electric ground support equipment (GSEs)
• Backup power systems

Features & Benefits

Modular, Reconfigurable, and Redundant Charging Systems
The Power and Control Bay rack based design offers a modular and reconfigurable charging system platform. Using the PowerCharge LV 10kW charging drawers as a building block, users can easily configure their charging systems to fit their specific needs. The advanced controls allows for automatic configuration of the charging system based on the number of charging drawers detected and allows for redundant and uninterruptible operation in case of a single drawer failure..

Programmable Charging Algorithms
The advanced on-board microprocessor controls feature fully programmable charging profiles. Customers can program various charging parameters and select among many charging sequences that best meet specific battery needs. The charging algorithm can be tailored to achieve rapid and opportunity charging regimens.

Remote Control Capability
Equipped with RS-232, RS-485 ports, PowerCharge extends its programmability and monitoring features to remote hosts such as PCs and PLCs.
