The 420kW dual-gun modular AC-DC fast charger targets bus depots and logistics yards, 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 Power conversion is separated from control logic, so firmware updates and diagnostics never interrupt an active charging session. Input power factor stays above 0.99 and the wide input window keeps operation stable on weak rural feeders and long industrial spurs. Bidirectional-ready bus design lets the same platform accept solar or battery energy storage input without a second conversion stage. 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. 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. A 1000V ceiling future-proofs the investment, because the same DC fast charging station serves today’s 400V fleets and tomorrow’s 800V platforms. Constant power operation holds the full 420kW from roughly 500V upward, so an 800V pack charges at rated rate instead of tapering early. Cable assemblies rated 250A to 400A are matched to each outlet, and CCS2 leads are available in lengths from 4 to 8 metres. Wide range voltage tracking keeps efficiency above 95 percent even when a deeply depleted pack pulls close to the 500A current ceiling.

3. 40kW 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. Power is delivered by 40kW hot-swappable modules, so a failed unit is exchanged in minutes without isolating the whole cabinet. Each module reports voltage, current, temperature and fan speed to the controller, which derates or isolates any unit drifting out of tolerance. N plus one redundancy keeps rated 420kW available even while one module is pulled for service, which matters on revenue-critical corridors. Thermal design holds junction temperatures stable at 50 degrees ambient, so the DC fast charger sustains rated output in hot climates. 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. Dynamic power allocation distributes available capacity across outlets in real time, letting a single vehicle draw the full 420kW. Because capacity follows demand, the DC fast charging station avoids the idle-outlet penalty that drags down utilisation on paired connectors. Priority rules can reserve one outlet for emergency fleets while the other follows a normal queue, all configured remotely. When a second connector activates, the controller splits output according to state of charge rather than a fixed schedule. Site rules are tuned from the operator portal.

5. Outdoor IP55 Enclosure Built for Public Sites Cable management hooks keep CCS2 leads off the ground, extending connector life in busy public car parks. Optional heating, ventilation and lighting kits extend operation to cold storage yards and dusty mining roads. Surge protection, residual current detection and emergency stop are integrated, and the cabinet is engineered for a ten-year outdoor service life. The bonded anti-glare touchscreen stays readable in direct sunlight and remains responsive through gloved operation. 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. 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. Local storage keeps sessions running if connectivity drops, then synchronises records once the link returns. Drivers authenticate by RFID card, mobile app, QR code or ISO 15118 plug and charge, with an optional POS terminal for bank card payment. An open API and Modbus TCP option let the DC fast charger link with solar, storage and building management systems. 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

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.

What output voltage range does the 420kW unit support?

The charger delivers 200V to 1000V DC at up to 500A, so it serves 400V passenger cars and 800V heavy vehicles from the same outlet. Constant power holds 420kW 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 420kW, 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.
