1. Protocol Conversion & High-Power DC Performance

Active PLC to CAN Conversion

Integrates embedded control electronics to convert CCS Combo 1 Power Line Communication (PLC) into CHAdeMO Controller Area Network (CAN) communication:

CCS Combo 1 Input: PLC-based DIN 70121 & ISO 15118 protocol
CHAdeMO Output: Native CAN-based charging communication

High-Current Power Throughput

Engineered for continuous high-power DC fast charging under heavy operating conditions:

  • Rated Current: 300 A continuous DC
  • High-Current Option: Up to 400 A (project-based configuration)
  • Maximum Voltage: 1,000 V DC

*Actual performance is governed by vehicle BMS demand, station output capacity, and thermal limits.

Thermal Management & Safety Interruption

Integrates real-time thermal monitoring across critical electrical connection points. The control system continuously evaluates terminal temperature rise and triggers automatic charging interruption if thermal thresholds are exceeded, mitigating heat stress during high-current sessions.

2. Industrial Housing & Low-Resistance Conductive Path

Reinforced Composite Housing

Constructed with premium PC + PA66 + GF25% glass fiber reinforced engineering materials. This composite enclosure delivers exceptionally high mechanical strength, impact resistance, and flame-retardant structural integrity for heavy commercial use.

Low-Resistance Power Contacts

Internal power conductors utilize high-conductivity silver-plated copper alloy. The precision contact structure minimizes electrical contact resistance, lowers localized resistive heating, and maintains high-voltage insulation stability.
