The 280kW multi-gun modular AC-DC fast charger targets bus depots and logistics yards, where uptime and quick service access decide revenue. With CCS2 and CCS1 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 The 280kW multi-gun unit is built around a modular AC-DC topology that rectifies three-phase AC input onto a regulated DC bus before power reaches the vehicle inlet. Busbar layout, magnetic components and cooling channels are shared across the 280kW family, which shortens lead times and simplifies spare part stocking. Power conversion is separated from control logic, so firmware updates and diagnostics never interrupt an active charging session. An active front end feeds isolated DC/DC stages inside each cabinet, so grid harmonics stay low while output voltage follows whatever the battery management system requests. Commissioning takes under an hour with the guided setup wizard. Matching power modules are documented in the datasheet.

2. 200V-1000V Wide Voltage Output With Constant Power Pre-charge sequencing limits inrush current, shielding vehicle contactors and DC link capacitors from stress during every plug-in. 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. Constant power operation holds the full 280kW from roughly 500V upward, so an 800V pack charges at rated rate instead of tapering early. 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 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. N plus one redundancy keeps rated 280kW available even while one module is pulled for service, which matters on revenue-critical corridors. A shared DC bus lets any module feed any outlet, removing the fixed pairing that limits conventional charging piles. Replacement modules ship pre-calibrated, and the controller recognises a new unit automatically once it is fully seated. Commissioning takes under an hour with the guided setup wizard. Compatible EV charging connectors are listed separately.

4. Dynamic Power Allocation Across Dual Outlets Scheduling profiles prioritise buses in the morning and light vehicles in the evening without manual intervention. Session logs record delivered energy per outlet, which simplifies billing, reconciliation and fleet cost allocation. Operators set allocation rules per site, per connector or per tariff window through the cloud portal, with no on-site reprogramming. Matrix switching allows any module to serve any gun, so one cabinet can run a single 400A session or two lower-current sessions. Because capacity follows demand, the DC fast charging station avoids the idle-outlet penalty that drags down utilisation on paired connectors. Commissioning takes under an hour with the guided setup wizard. 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. Front and side service access is available, and the base frame accepts either anchor bolts or a concrete plinth. Cable management hooks keep CCS2 and CCS1 leads off the ground, extending connector life in busy public car parks. The bonded anti-glare touchscreen stays readable in direct sunlight and remains responsive through gloved operation. The enclosure is rated IP55, with filtered intake louvres and a sealed electronics compartment that shrugs off rain, dust and washdown. Optional heating, ventilation and lighting kits extend operation to cold storage yards and dusty mining roads. Installation drawings cover plinth and cable routing.

6. Smart Payment, OCPP Management and Energy Integration Remote diagnostics, firmware updates and tariff changes are pushed over the air, cutting truck rolls for routine maintenance. 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. OCPP 1.6J adds certificate handling and stronger message security for public networks that must satisfy national roaming rules. Communication runs over OCPP 1.6J, so the station integrates with almost any back office without custom middleware. 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

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.

Does the station support solar and battery storage integration?

The DC bus is storage-ready. Solar MPPT or a BESS cabinet can feed the link directly, and the controller can cap grid import during peak tariffs. This suits microgrid and carport projects where demand charges dominate operating cost.

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.
