New line of 'smart' battery chargers

19 April 2006 Power Electronics / Power Management

Current Automation has launched a new product line of smart battery chargers from Power Master, which features automatic multirate charging functions. The ABC range of battery chargers offers three-stage charging that it says will assist to extend batteries' lifetimes.

Special features of these products include: universal input range of 90-264 V a.c.; output voltages of 12, 24, 36 or 48 V d.c.; output current from 2 A up to 100 A; parallel operation module available; short circuit protection; reverse polarity protection; overload protection; CE approved.

Further, each charger indicates the function of charging with an LED display feedback: dark yellow indicates a floating charge of 13,7 V d.c. or 27,4 V d.c. to match the battery voltage; bright yellow indicates the bulk equaliser charge of 14,6 V d.c or 29,2 V d.c. to match the battery voltage.

Power Master has achieved ISO9001 certification and have put the worldwide process and quality standard into practice for consistent quality performance. Quality and reliability is thus the key focus in its manufacture of DC to AC power inverters, AC to DC battery charger and UPS solutions.

Current Automation is now focusing on servicing the local industry utilising Power Master's expertise in battery charging and will soon offer a complete range of its DC/AC inverter products as well.
