The 240kW 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 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. A single controller supervises rectification, isolation and metering, which keeps the power path short and trims conversion losses across the whole load range. Bidirectional-ready bus design lets the same platform accept solar or battery energy storage input without a second conversion stage. Galvanic isolation between grid and vehicle protects both sides during fault events and meets the insulation requirements behind CE and IEC 61851 compliance. Matching power modules are documented in the datasheet.

2. 200V-1000V Wide Voltage Output With Constant Power Output spans 200V to 1000V DC, covering 400V and 800V vehicle architectures from compact city cars to heavy-duty tractors. Precision metering at the outlet delivers Class B accuracy, so billed energy matches what the vehicle actually receives. 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 240kW from roughly 500V upward, so an 800V pack charges at rated rate instead of tapering early. Voltage and current limits are negotiated over the control pilot, then confirmed by the battery management system before the DC contactors close.

3. 30kW Hot-Swap Power Modules and N+1 Redundancy Each module reports voltage, current, temperature and fan speed to the controller, which derates or isolates any unit drifting out of tolerance. Modules slide out from the front, so service engineers never need rear clearance in tight parking layouts or wall-adjacent installations. A shared DC bus lets any module feed any outlet, removing the fixed pairing that limits conventional charging piles. Thermal design holds junction temperatures stable at 50 degrees ambient, so the DC fast charger sustains rated output in hot climates. Power is delivered by 30kW hot-swappable modules, so a failed unit is exchanged in minutes without isolating the whole cabinet. Compatible EV charging connectors are listed separately.

4. Dynamic Power Allocation Across Dual Outlets Dynamic power allocation distributes available capacity across outlets in real time, letting a single vehicle draw the full 240kW. Matrix switching allows any module to serve any gun, so one cabinet can run a single 400A session or two lower-current sessions. Scheduling profiles prioritise buses in the morning and light vehicles in the evening without manual intervention. Load balancing also watches site demand, trimming total draw when the transformer or building load approaches its limit. Priority rules can reserve one outlet for emergency fleets while the other follows a normal queue, all configured remotely. Session logs record delivered energy per outlet, which simplifies billing, reconciliation and fleet cost allocation. Site rules are tuned from the operator portal.

5. Outdoor IP55 Enclosure Built for Public Sites The enclosure is rated IP55, with filtered intake louvres and a sealed electronics compartment that shrugs off rain, dust and washdown. Cable management hooks keep CCS2 and CCS1 leads off the ground, extending connector life in busy public car parks. A powder-coated steel body with anti-corrosion treatment suits coastal, industrial and roadside installations. Surge protection, residual current detection and emergency stop are integrated, and the cabinet is engineered for a ten-year outdoor service life. Ambient range runs from minus 30 to plus 55 degrees Celsius, with internal heaters protecting the 7-inch display in freezing conditions. The bonded anti-glare touchscreen stays readable in direct sunlight and remains responsive through gloved operation. Installation drawings cover plinth and cable routing.

6. Smart Payment, OCPP Management and Energy Integration Drivers authenticate by RFID card, mobile app, QR code or ISO 15118 plug and charge, with an optional POS terminal for bank card payment. Remote diagnostics, firmware updates and tariff changes are pushed over the air, cutting truck rolls for routine maintenance. An open API and Modbus TCP option let the DC fast charger link with solar, storage and building management systems. Local storage keeps sessions running if connectivity drops, then synchronises records once the link returns. Communication runs over OCPP 1.6J, so the station integrates with almost any back office without custom middleware. Multi-language interface, configurable tariff screens and branded start pages help operators monetise the charging session itself. 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

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 240kW 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 240kW 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 240kW, 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.
