New liquid-cooled on-board charger for electric and hybrid vehicles from Bel Fuse
Bel Fuse is launching BCF19-700-8, a 19.2 kW liquid-cooled on-board battery charger for hybrid (HEV) or full electric (EV) vehicles, as a part of the Bel Power Solutions portfolio. The AC charger has an output voltage of 450 – 900 VDC to cover a wide range of high-voltage (HV) batteries.
Providing a typical full load efficiency of 94%, the on-board charger has an output power of up to 18 kW with over-temperature, output over-voltage, and over-current protection. Its CAN bus serial interface provides seamless onboard communication for reliable monitoring and control signals. The BCF19-700-8 can be powered by standard EVSE charging stations directly from the public grid in custom systems, including single-phase or split-phase 100 – 277 VAC.
“We designed this liquid-cooled battery charger to meet the critical demands of today’s HEV and EV manufacturers,” said Frank Vondenhoff, Global Director eMobility, Product & Business Development. “Its 19.2 kW output, high efficiency, and wide voltage accelerate charging times and ensure compatibility with a broad spectrum of HV battery systems, giving our customers the performance and flexibility they need to innovate in a rapidly evolving market.”
Its compliance with industry standards such as SAE J1939 and UL 2202 ensures reliability and safety, addressing the critical needs of system integrators and vehicle manufacturers.
