Outdoor charging station

Key challenges

Develop a complete power supply that uses high-voltage electric car battery input (400V_DC) which should then control and regulate the output for charging

Outdoor charging station

Solution

Using PRMs and VTMs allowed for the high efficiency and power density required

Power chain for server docking station shelf power — Outdoor charging station
