PDU – Power Distribution Unit

 

Efa builds PDU:

 

      • From 24V to 750V, from 300W to 300kW
      • Affordable according to your quantities : components choices, industrialization
      • Scalable design to fit with options and range of vehicles
      • Reliable in harsh environment : IP level, shocks, vibrations, temperatures
      • Safe according to the CE standards
      • Easy to install (compacity, plug & play) and maintain
      • With a high efficiency : conduction and thermal management

Several wordings

 

      • PDU : Power Distribution Unit
      • PDB : Power Distribution Box
      • Junction box
      • Power box
      • Intelligent Power System

They are all the same, in efa we call it … PDU !

The PDU is used in electric or hybrid vehicle for

 

    • The battery
      • Parallelize several strings of batteries
      • Isolate the batteries from the system
      • Insulation monitoring
      • Current measurement
    • The power circuits (traction, hydraulic group)
      • Protect the circuits
      • Isolate the power circuits
      • Pre-charge the DC capacitor of the circuits
    • Auxiliaries (heating, cooling, lights)
      • Generate the low voltage supply
      • Protect the auxiliaries circuits
      • Isolate the circuits
