E- Mobility Education Kits for Learning EV Charging

From |

Phoenix Contact E- Mobility group has come up with EV-Charging Kits for training E-mobility EV Charging awareness, which will be used by Technical Institutes and Polytechnics as well as Energy Authorities.

These kits contain the basic main components, as well as build plans for the trainee to understand how to construct a basic EV-Charger based on 16 to 20amp current input and charging at 3.7 kW at 230 VAC supply.

These kits can then be configured into different charging applications to provide a better understanding of EV-Charging Technology.

More safety for charging stations

From |

With the new EV RCM residual current monitoring modules, Phoenix Contact fulfills the standard requirements according to IEC 61851-1 as regards DC residual current acquisition in charging equipment.

freistellen mit Pfad CD-Inlay einbauen Network Interfaces fg

According to current draft standards in charging infrastructure, in the future, either a Type B residual current or alternatively a Type A residual current with additional detection and shutdown equipment will be required in the case of DC residual currents > 6 mA. This should ensure that any occurring DC residual currents, e.g., due to insulation faults in the vehicle, do not have a negative impact on safety equipment in the infrastructure.

The modules detect AC and DC residual currents and the charging process is aborted before the residual current can affect the installation. The RCM modules are compatible with the EV Charge Control series of charging controllers from Phoenix Contact. This means that the residual current modules can be automatically reset and even carry out an automatic self-test. This lowers costs for service operations and increases the availability of the charging station. The module is available in a single- or two-channel design and can therefore be used to monitor residual currents in a domestic charging station or at commercial charging points.

DC Charging Connector System for Electric Commercial Vehicles

From |

Phoenix Contact offers high-performance connectors to charge large DC battery units. The DC interchangeable battery concept for power applications was specifically developed for electric commercial vehicles.

It is used in city and community transportation systems, for transport vehicles in the logistics environment, as well as for people movers. As a result of its dimensions and material properties, the connector system is designed for currents up to 400 A, voltages up to 750 V, and 10,000 insertion and withdrawal cycles.

As well as providing specific charge management, the integrated data module monitors the temperature in order to avoid overheating. The spring-damped guide bolts compensate for any tolerance when inserting the connector and dampen any vibration when the vehicle moves.

In addition, they ensure reliable connectivity and a long service life. With this new product, Phoenix Contact has further rounded off its product line for e-mobility solutions.
