Introducing the rail approved ADC9000 3kW power supplies, rectifiers and battery chargers Powernet now boost a state-of-the-art product program and design platform to serve the European rail industry. Following the recently introduced ADC9000 500W battery charger the 3kW units now offers very compact, light weight and efficient solutions for higher power range auxiliary power supply needs.
Powernet has started shipping of ADC9000 3,2kW 3*400VAC/110VDC and 3,2kW 3*400VAC/24VDC battery chargers as well as 3,0kW 110VDC/24VDC converters to European customers during the 1H2012. Additionally 3,2kW AC/DC and 3,0kW DC/DC versions for different voltages will be developed for ongoing projects. AC/DC power supplies for rail applications will typically need 230VAC input and 24/36/48/72 or 110V output depending among other things on battery voltages used. Higher power ranges like 6-12kW will be supported by connecting several base units in parallel.
– A train will accelerate and de-accelerate for up to 40 years in service, the light weight, compact ADC9000 3kW series brings welcomed space savings as well significant savings in energy over lifetime to the train manufacturers and operators.
Thanks to our flexible design platforms Powernet has the ability to develop customer optimized products in a few months timeframe, comments Harry Lilja, VP Sales and Marketing at Powernet Oy.
