A Power and Beyond feature on our VCCR300

Danfoss Editron will bring its ED3 onboard charger with electric power take-off functionality to the open market. Initially designed for on-highway applications, the ED3 offers fast, easy access to charging power. The product will deliver 43 kilowatts of charging power, the highest AC charging power available on today’s market. This power will allow heavy-duty electric vehicles to be charged overnight using readily available AC power outlets, facilitating quick deployment while minimizing charging infrastructure costs for customers. The high-power AC and DC electric power take-off offered by the ED3 will also simplify integration for OEMs. The product pulls DC power directly from its main high-voltage battery to support up to 44 kW of power. It can also convert power drawn from the battery to AC in a single- or three-phase electrical supply to deliver up to 43.6 kilovolt-amperes. These features mean the ED3 can support any electric power take-off function for most auxiliary functions. #DanfossEditron #ED3Charger #HeavyDutyEV #FastCharging

Modular plug-and-play rectifier OmniOn Power has developed a modular 30 kW rectifier in a 19 in rack format to build EV fast chargers (writes Nick Flaherty). The EV100H3NK and EV101H3N1K AC-DC variants of the rectifier design have efficiencies of up to 96% and integrate CAN automotive comms protocols. Up to 12 rectifiers can be used in parallel in a 19 in rack to build fast-charging 360 kW systems quickly and easily. The rectifier modules are designed with plug-and-play connectivity, allowing units to be quickly swapped out when servicing to minimise downtime. Remote firmware download supports field upgrades. The basic rectifier design measures 13.23 in wide, 3.3 in high and 17.25 in deep for 19 in rack mounting, and uses a 480 V three-phase input. The DC output for fast-charging systems has an adjustable output range of 50-1000 VDC that can be set by the host charger. The EV101H3N1K adds a discrete emergency power-off circuit for added safety. This enables the rectifier to comply with local or regional requirements for safety that require an electromechanical energy disconnect for rapid shutdown in case of an emergency. “Two of the commonly mentioned challenges to widespread EV adoption are the time required for charging and the uptime, or availability, of charging infrastructure,” said Gopal Mitra, industrial segment leader for OmniOn Power. “Consumers want to know that a fast charger is going to be available and fast when they drive up to it. Using highly reliable, high-capacity power supplies as the building blocks for next-generation EV chargers will help to address these issues.” Click here to access more news articles & deeper technical investigations into e-mobility ▶ https://lnkd.in/exVm22ce #evcharging #fastcharging #electricvehicles #charging #emobility #evcharger

It’s one thing to install a single #EV charger or two at your home or work but what if you need to install 50 at a university campus or 100 in a parking garage? Gerry Feldmeier and Erik do a great job in this #Eaton Power Sytems Experience Center video talking about the things you might want to consider when designing or building large EV charger installations. Come see some of these chargers in action at the PSEC in Pittsburgh or Houston. #eatonexperience

Did you know, Rosenberg plug fans are easy to install, quiet and require only a minimum of maintenance. Their small profile allows them to fit into smaller, tight spaces, ideal for quick retrofits. Perfect when space is at a premium in many #hvac applications. 💡   Modern plug fan technology fitted with high efficiency EC motors and integrated drives can significantly increase the operating duty of both volume and pressure of the #ventilation system, while also offering major reductions in operating noise and benefitting from built in electronics for communication, control and greater reliability. ✅   For example, the Rosenberg Generation 3 EC motor allows 40% more motor winding density creating a 30% increase in power. Many air handling unit manufacturers have extended the life of their AHU’s by replacing old centrifugal fans with modern plug fans. Once installed EC fans can be commissioned to run at fixed speeds where needed. Modulating the fan speed in response to specific time requirements or occupancy-based controls allows even further reductions to energy usage. 💪     #energyefficiency #rosenberg #plugfans
