Description
The session starts automatically as soon as the bus stops under the mast and the system establishes communication with the vehicle. The current is limited by the pantograph to 600 A, and the output voltage is 150–850 V DC. Both contact schemes are supported, pantograph up (OppCharge) and pantograph down. System efficiency is in the range of 94–96%. The cabinets have IP54 and IK10 protection and operate at temperatures from −35 to +50 °C, so they are placed right at the terminal without a heated room. The system complies with IEC 61851-23, ISO/IEC 15118 and OCPP 1.6 and carries CE and UL marks. The cabinets stand separately from the mast, so they can be hidden behind the stop shelter, leaving only the pantograph above the roadway.
How to choose
The number of cabinets sets the power, with one giving 150 kW and three together 450 kW, and the choice depends on how much energy the bus must take on during its stop at the terminal. If vehicles are charged mostly at night in the depot, the HVC360 depot system at 200–360 kW is more suitable. For long-haul tractors the range includes the megawatt MCS1200.
