MEAN WELL HEP & BIC Series: Rugged & Bidirectional Solutions
HEP-600C: Harsh Environment Battery Charger
The HEP-600C is designed specifically for extreme operating conditions where standard chargers would fail, such as high humidity, high vibration, or dusty environments.
- Extreme Durability: Metal casing with aluminum heat dissipation; potted with thermal conductive silicone to withstand harsh environments.
- Wide Temp Range: Operational from -40°C to +70°C, perfect for outdoor or industrial equipment.
- High Efficiency: Up to 95.5% efficiency.
- Silent Operation: Fanless, conduction-cooled design.
| Model | Voltage | Current | Battery Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| HEP-600C-12 | 14.4V | 35A | Lead-Acid |
| HEP-600C-24 | 28.8V | 21A | Lead-Acid |
| HEP-600C-48 | 57.6V | 10.5A | Lead-Acid |
BIC-2200: 2200W Bidirectional Power Converter
The BIC-2200 is a dual-purpose unit that manages energy flow between an AC grid and a DC battery system. It provides both AC-to-DC (rectification) and DC-to-AC (inversion) capabilities.
- Bidirectional Energy Flow: Seamlessly cycles energy back into the grid (DC-to-AC) or charges the battery (AC-to-DC).
- Energy Recovery: Ideal for battery production lines where energy consumed during testing is returned to the grid, drastically reducing costs.
- Efficiency: Up to 93% efficiency in both directions.
- Communication: Built-in CANBus for intelligent system management.
| Model | Output Voltages |
|---|---|
| BIC-2200-12/24/48/96 | Flexible across 12V ~ 96V DC |
BIC-5K: 5kW High-Power Bidirectional Converter
A high-capacity version of the bidirectional converter for industrial-scale energy storage and management.
- High Capacity: 5000W output for demanding applications.
- Parallel Scalability: Can be paralleled up to 30kW (5+1 unit setup) to support large-scale energy infrastructure.
- Ultra-Fast Switching: Rapid bidirectional transition (approx. 1ms to 3ms) ensures seamless power management.
- Application: EV charger testing, V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) energy storage, and large battery formation systems.
