HMIs for BEV Charging Stations

July 9, 2024

Electric cars – BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) for short – are very highly popular with buyers and are to be welcomed with a view to reducing CO2 emissions. Such vehicles need to be charged with electrical energy. This is done using charging stations, often just called wallboxes, which use a wide variety of control units.

The days of petrol, diesel and even hybrid vehicles are coming to an end. The future will be dominated by BEVs. Quiet and clean. In Norway, Europe’s most BEV-friendly country, around 82 percent of all newly registered cars in 2023 were already purely electric. Norway is not yet the norm, but the Scandinavians clearly show where this vehicle category is heading. The network of charging stations needs to be expanded to the same extent. Wallboxes for charging vehicles in private homes or company parking lots as well as fast-charging stations in public spaces are needed.

The Benefits of a Connected Ecosystem for More Streamlined Enclosure Assembly and Installation

A recent survey of 200 global manufacturing decision makers found that the most pressing challenges manufacturers are likely to face in 2024 includes creating more agile and resilient production cycles. This is due in large part to the continued skilled labor shortage, and how increased consumer demand for a variety of goods is forcing manufacturers to figure out how to maintain productivity in the face of a limited labor pool. As a result, manufacturers are incorporating more advanced automation solutions to help unlock greater levels of productivity and efficiency in the coming year. In fact, creating a more connected ecosystem can accelerate the enclosure assembly and installation process, and this helps increase your speed to market and makes for more flexible production.

Weschler Instruments: Using DC Current Shunts

A DC current shunt is a specialized resistor used to measure high currents. The shunt is wired in series with a heavy load, such as a DC motor, battery charger, heater, plating bath or smelter pot line. A DC voltmeter is connected to the shunt in a 4-wire (Kelvin) configuration. The shunt has bolt holes or studs for the heavy wires and small terminals for the meter connections.

What Makes A Quality Control Panel: Three Questions With UCEC’s Garrod Massey

Why does a panel get UL Listed? 

Our UL listings are a big deal at UCEC and something I think about all of the time. Customers request a UL listing for their panel project for a variety of reasons, but usually it’s because the listing is required by a local municipality. We also build panels to UL standards regardless of the listing requested.

Why Are Discrimination Studies Among Protections So Important?

Why Are Discrimination Studies Among Protections So Important?

Discrimination studies are an essential factor in the design of any electrical installations. Professionals carry out an exhaustive analysis of the electrical protections needed to guarantee the continuity of supply in case of failure. A good discrimination study allows the coordination of different protections at different levels of electrical installations.
