PowerCharge

Safely design interlock circuits of electric vehicles with the Safe Interlock Unit SIU

Reduce your charging time considerably with the PowerCharge. With a high peak current of 1000A and a long peak current time, the charging power can remain constant at up to 800 kW. The integrated electronics take care of thermal management, power reduction and contactor activation. Safe voltage measurement ensures the electrical safety of the vehicle’s charging connection.

01.

Powerful

Delivers up to 1000A peak current in a compact, water-cooled module.

02.

Safe and intelligent charging control

The built-in electronics take care of voltage measurement, activation of the contactors and thermal management – all via CAN.

03.

Ready for integration

Standard interfaces, optional inlet control and conformity with automotive standards simplify implementation in your system.

Tech Specs

Description

The PowerCharge receives high-voltage direct current from the inlet and forwards it to the vehicle’s high-voltage system. The PowerCharge contains the DC charging switches as well as the necessary safety measurements required for DC charging. Everything is controlled via CAN by the built-in electronics to maximize charging performance over the entire charging cycle.
