Why High Voltage?

• Conventional power generation no longer sufficient

• Higher voltage leads to lower current

• Lower current has dramatic effect on lowering power loss and cable sizes

• 28Vdc has a practical limit to around 25 –

30 kW of power

• 600Vdc has a practical limit of around 500 kW of power

• Supports Hybridization or electrification and green initiatives

Supports New Capabilities

• Energy Weapons

• Active Defense/Protection

• Silent Mobility (size and weight dependent)

• Micro Grid (vehicle powers TOC or TAC)

• Electrification of hydraulic loads to improve efficiency

600VDC ELECTRICAL POWER
