#ThursdayThought 💡 As the use of electric vehicles grows, a safe and reliable charging infrastructure is essential. Standard type A or type F RCCBs may not protect against smooth DC residual currents greater than 6 mA, which can occur when charging EVs. These currents could cause traditional breakers to "go blind" and fail to trip. Doepke’s EV version of the DFS residual current circuit breaker is specially designed to address this. Key features: ✔️ Integrated DC residual current detection for currents up to 6 mA ✔️ Compliance with IEC 62955 standard ✔️ Reliable protection in public and home charging stations Ensure safe, future-proof EV charging with Doepke! ⚡🔒 Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eDMPsNc2 #Electromobility #EVCharging #ElectricalSafety #Doepke #SmartCharging #SafetyFirst

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙐𝙇 𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙑 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜? ⚡ With the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, the core value of charging infrastructure has transcended speed. For #fleets, #CPOs, and energy operators, safety, reliability, and compatibility are key. The real challenge isn't building charging stations, but ensuring they operate reliably in diverse environments. #UL certification, a globally recognized safety standard, verifies that charging equipment: ✅ Resistant to overvoltage, overcurrent, and thermal stress ✅ Safe for long-term high-power operation ✅ Stability in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMC/EMI) ✅ Reliable without interfering with surrounding devices (from mobile phones to the power grid) At #SETECPOWER, we consistently adhere to the highest standards. Our flagship product, the #PowerMaster, has successfully achieved comprehensive UL certification in collaboration with a professional laboratory. This means we can provide #fleets, #CPOs, and energy operators with proven high-power charging solutions, ensuring long-term stable operation. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gbRyqtDY #EVCharging #HPC #ULCertification #FleetElectrification #evcharger #SetecPower #evchargingstation #evchargingsolution #fleetcharging #chargingsolution

Understanding the System Main Relay (SMR) in Hybrid and EVs In hybrid and electric vehicles, safety and energy management are critical. One key component that ensures both is the System Main Relay (SMR). So, what does it actually do? • High Voltage Connection: The SMR acts as a switch between the high-voltage battery pack and the rest of the vehicle’s power electronics (inverter, motor, DC-DC converter). • Controlled Startup: When you press the “power” button, the SMR doesn’t immediately connect the full battery voltage. Instead, it first uses a pre-charge circuit to safely charge the capacitors in the inverter—avoiding sudden inrush currents that could damage components. • Safety Function: In the event of a fault, crash, or emergency shutdown, the SMR disconnects the battery from the system, isolating the high-voltage source and protecting both the vehicle and its occupants. • Multiple Relays for Redundancy: Typically, there are two or three SMRs (positive, negative, and sometimes pre-charge) to ensure reliability and compliance with safety standards like ISO 26262.

The IEA’s EV Charging and Grid Integration tool is designed to help quantify and visualise EV charging demand profiles across different vehicle classes and charging use cases. 1) For the national level, the focus is a general investigation to estimate the shape of the demand profile, order of magnitude of the demand, the potential of demand management and the emissions caused by EVs. 2) For the distribution system the tool could help to investigate which additional demand the grid has to supply beside the non-EV demand and for example how managed charging could help decrease the peak demand of EVs or shift it away from the non-EV peak demand.

FORVIA HELLA and Tau Motors are collaborating on a virtually isolated onboard charger (viOBC) for electric vehicles (EVs), with series production targeted within the next two to three years. The viOBC eliminates the transformer, reducing weight by about a third and installation space by up to half, while achieving a power density of 7 kW per liter. Despite its transformerless design, it maintains galvanic isolation through a combination of hardware and software safety measures. With efficiency above 98%, the charger supports vehicle-to-grid integration and advanced energy management functions, including grid-supporting virtual power plant capability.
