Discover the Key Components and Solutions from Pantronics India
As more people start using electric vehicles (EVs), the need for quick and reliable charging is growing. DC fast chargers are popular because they can charge EVs much faster than regular Level 2 AC chargers.
But have you ever wondered what goes on inside these technological powerhouses that deliver a crucial energy boost to your EV battery?
So, what’s actually inside these fast chargers? Let’s embark on a journey inside a DC fast charger and explore the key electronic components that make this rapid charging possible.
A Look Inside the DC Fast Charger below the image
Input Protection: The charger starts with safety. Fuses, surge protectors, TVS diodes, current sensors, and earth fault relays guard against power surges and faults.
AC to DC Conversion & Power Factor Correction (PFC): This part turns AC into DC and improves efficiency. It uses MOSFETs, rectifier modules, capacitors from Jianghai, gate drivers, and temperature sensors.
High-Frequency Converter: Boosts voltage for fast charging. Uses similar parts as the PFC stage—MOSFETs, rectifiers, Jianghai capacitors, gate drivers, and thermal sensors.
DC Output Protection: Keeps the EV safe with DC fuses, HVDC contactors, and earth fault relays.
Auxiliary Power Supply: Powers control systems using small MOSFETs, diodes, capacitors, fuses, and surge protection parts like MOVs and GDTs.
Communication & Interface: Helps the charger talk to the EV and users. TVS diode arrays protect these circuits.
Charging Plug & Service Panel: Even the plug has sensors to check temperature and give feedback for safe charging.
Thermal Management: Keeps the system cool with Thermal Interface Materials. ShinEtsu, Japan’s No.1 brand, ensures excellent heat dissipation and long-lasting performance.
