Technical Datasheet

Kempower Power Unit C500

The Kempower Power Unit is the heart of Kempower's flexible, modular and scalable DC charging system with dynamic power management.

One Power Unit can simultaneously provide energy for up to 8 DC charging outputs: Satellites or Pantographs. With different combinations of 50 kW power modules, the Power Unit's unique dynamic power management harnesses the full potential of on-demand power routing, saving both energy and costs.

A triple cabinet Power Unit can have up to twelve 50 kW power modules, providing a maximum nominal power of up to 600 kW.

With dynamic power management, the available charging power of all power modules is automatically distributed to all connected charging outputs, depending on the charging cable used and the requirements of the electric vehicles. With static power management, each power module provides pre-set charging power to one dedicated charging output.
