Bel Fuse launches compact liquid-cooled charger
Bel Fuse, a global manufacturer of products that power, protect, and connect electronic circuits, is announcing the release of its BCN25-1000 Series – a 25kW, liquid cooled battery charger that converts 3-phase AC voltage to DC voltage.
Designed to be a compact solution for medium to heavy duty vehicles and underground mining applications, the new charger is built from the latest, high-quality components. Appropriate for industrial trucks, excavators, cranes and the like where 1,000 VAC is present, the series comes in two options: the 350-8 unit with a DC Output 240–430V / 60A max, and the 700-8 unit with DC Output 480–860V / 30A max.
The AC 3-phase input has a range of 800–1,100V and an output power up to 25kW, parallel to 100kW, making it suitable for use as an off-board charger with a typical efficiency of 92%, eliminating the need for transformers to lessen overall vehicle weight and cost. Featuring over-temperature, output overvoltage, and overcurrent protections, the charger is SAE 1455 compliant for harsh environments and includes a J1939 compliant CAN for control and monitoring.
BCN25-1000 series products are UL 2202 approved by CSA, IEC certified, and water resistant to IP65 and IP67 ratings.
