The 280kW dual-gun modular AC-DC fast charger targets highway service corridors, where uptime and quick service access decide revenue. With CCS2 outlets, a 200V-1000V DC window and OCPP 1.6J connectivity, it delivers predictable high-power charging while keeping installation and commissioning simple. This DC fast charging station pairs high utilisation with low maintenance overhead.

1. Modular AC-DC Power Topology and Conversion Chain Every cabinet is load tested before shipment and arrives with a wiring map covering contactors, fuses and surge arrestors for fast commissioning. Efficiency peaks at 96 percent and stays above 94 percent from light load to full output, cutting energy cost for high-utilisation sites. Galvanic isolation between grid and vehicle protects both sides during fault events and meets the insulation requirements behind CE and IEC 61851 compliance. Bidirectional-ready bus design lets the same platform accept solar or battery energy storage input without a second conversion stage. Busbar layout, magnetic components and cooling channels are shared across the 280kW family, which shortens lead times and simplifies spare part stocking. Matching power modules are documented in the datasheet.

2. 200V-1000V Wide Voltage Output With Constant Power Continuous insulation monitoring isolates the outlet whenever leakage approaches the configured threshold, protecting technicians and vehicles alike. Output spans 200V to 1000V DC, covering 400V and 800V vehicle architectures from compact city cars to heavy-duty tractors. Voltage and current limits are negotiated over the control pilot, then confirmed by the battery management system before the DC contactors close. Precision metering at the outlet delivers Class B accuracy, so billed energy matches what the vehicle actually receives. Wide range voltage tracking keeps efficiency above 95 percent even when a deeply depleted pack pulls close to the 400A current ceiling.

3. 30kW Hot-Swap Power Modules and N+1 Redundancy Modules slide out from the front, so service engineers never need rear clearance in tight parking layouts or wall-adjacent installations. N plus one redundancy keeps rated 280kW available even while one module is pulled for service, which matters on revenue-critical corridors. Power is delivered by 30kW hot-swappable modules, so a failed unit is exchanged in minutes without isolating the whole cabinet. Module-level diagnostics flag degrading fans and capacitors long before they cause a stoppage, enabling condition-based maintenance. Speed-controlled fans and intelligent airflow keep acoustic noise near 65 dB, which suits residential, hospital and retail locations. Compatible EV charging connectors are listed separately.

4. Dynamic Power Allocation Across Dual Outlets Session logs record delivered energy per outlet, which simplifies billing, reconciliation and fleet cost allocation. Because capacity follows demand, the DC fast charging station avoids the idle-outlet penalty that drags down utilisation on paired connectors. Dynamic power allocation distributes available capacity across outlets in real time, letting a single vehicle draw the full 280kW. Matrix switching allows any module to serve any gun, so one cabinet can run a single 400A session or two lower-current sessions. Priority rules can reserve one outlet for emergency fleets while the other follows a normal queue, all configured remotely. Site rules are tuned from the operator portal.

5. Outdoor IP55 Enclosure Built for Public Sites Each unit is ingress tested at the factory and ships with CE documentation covering insulation and earth continuity checks. Optional heating, ventilation and lighting kits extend operation to cold storage yards and dusty mining roads. A powder-coated steel body with anti-corrosion treatment suits coastal, industrial and roadside installations. Front and side service access is available, and the base frame accepts either anchor bolts or a concrete plinth. The bonded anti-glare touchscreen stays readable in direct sunlight and remains responsive through gloved operation. Ambient range runs from minus 30 to plus 55 degrees Celsius, with internal heaters protecting the 7-inch display in freezing conditions. Installation drawings cover plinth and cable routing.

6. Smart Payment, OCPP Management and Energy Integration Multi-language interface, configurable tariff screens and branded start pages help operators monetise the charging session itself. Local storage keeps sessions running if connectivity drops, then synchronises records once the link returns. Remote diagnostics, firmware updates and tariff changes are pushed over the air, cutting truck rolls for routine maintenance. The controller exposes smart charging profiles, so a central system can cap site load during peak tariff periods. Every session produces a metered record covering start, stop and energy delivered, mapping directly to the operator’s billing engine. Drivers authenticate by RFID card, mobile app, QR code or ISO 15118 plug and charge, with an optional POS terminal for bank card payment. Backend integration follows the OCPP specification.

Deployment Support and Accessories

Projects usually pair the cabinet with Type 2 to Type 2 cables and a OCPP protocol controllers, all supplied from one factory. Engineering teams can review the company profile before order, while commercial questions go through the contact our team page. Standard builds ship in four to six weeks, and documentation covers wiring, grounding and network setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What payment options are available for public drivers?

RFID card, mobile app, QR code, ISO 15118 plug and charge and an optional POS terminal for contactless bank cards. All methods write to the same metered session record, so reconciliation stays simple. Connector options are listed on our EV charging connector page.

What output voltage range does the 280kW unit support?

The charger delivers 200V to 1000V DC at up to 400A, so it serves 400V passenger cars and 800V heavy vehicles from the same outlet. Constant power holds 280kW from about 500V upward, which shortens charging time on modern high-voltage packs.

How does DCDC architecture differ from a conventional AC-DC charger?

A DCDC stage accepts a DC bus from solar or battery storage and converts it directly, skipping one rectification step. That raises round-trip efficiency and lets the modular AC-DC platform operate during grid outages when paired with a BESS cabinet.

Can the two guns charge at the same time at full power?

Yes, with dynamic allocation. Total capacity is shared, so one vehicle can take the full 280kW, or two vehicles can split it according to state of charge. Matrix switching means any module can serve either outlet, and rules are configured remotely.

Which OCPP version should an operator choose?

OCPP 1.6J covers the widest installed base of back offices today. OCPP 1.6J is specified here for certificate handling, plug and charge support and stronger message security. Both profiles work with standard roaming hubs, and the protocol controller datasheet explains the mapping.

What protection level is needed for roadside installation?

IP55 is the baseline for outdoor public sites, combined with surge arrestors, residual current detection and an emergency stop. Coastal or dusty locations should add the anti-corrosion coating and filter service kit.

How is maintenance handled when a power module fails?

Modules are hot-swappable from the front. A technician isolates the affected unit, slides it out and seats a pre-calibrated replacement while the second outlet keeps serving traffic. N plus one redundancy keeps rated output available throughout.
