A400 All-in-One charger

In addition, the dynamic power sharing with a granularity of 50 kW helps to take different charging patterns into account, while in-house built silicon carbide-based power modules, maximum efficient air cooling, and a highly industrialized system design deliver the required reliability.

ABB E-mobility is the first to implement two-phase cooling technology (liquid to vapor to liquid) into a charging connector capable of up to 600 amperes of peak current. This patented technology is more reliable and efficient, with lower maintenance cost than traditional liquid cooled cable solutions.

“Charging networks constitute a mission-critical transport infrastructure on the way to an energy-efficient and climate-neutral mobility era. The A400 has been designed from the ground up as a system for the reliable and cost-effective delivery of energy, enabling our customers to operate their network at the highest level, and achieving their desired economic outcome,” said Michael Halbherr, CEO of ABB E-mobility. “At ABB E-Mobility, we have taken key lessons from our extensive experience and are obsessed with creating a charging experience that is reliable, scalable, managed and secure, while ensuring interoperability and performance.”

What the A400 Delivers:

●  Two charging ports provide 200kW of continuous charging power to two vehicles, up to 400kW for a single vehicle, compliant with all applicable governmental requirements and funding parameters in the U.S. and Europe.

●  Silicon carbide power modules developed and produced in-house, arranged in modular 100 kW blocks, allow two vehicles to be charged simultaneously in 50 kW increments to ensure that only the required power is drawn, and less unsold capacity remains.

●  The first to implement two-phase cooling technology (liquid to vapor to liquid) into a charging connector capable of up to 600 amperes of peak current. This patented technology is more reliable and efficient, with lower maintenance cost than traditional liquid cooled cable solutions.

●  Payment flow integrated into the charger's user interface enables hassle-free payment transactions and eliminates one of the main causes for low charging success rates: a lack of interoperability with third-party payment systems.

●  Lean design techniques and modularization lead to fewer parts, enable extensive subsystem testing, facilitate the maintenance and repair of the system, while improving serviceability and durability.

●  A compact footprint with maximally optimized airflow ensures higher power charging sessions and long-term reliability.

●  Performance-based SLAs based on a new asset management toolchain in conjunction with a streamlined service process will lead to high charging success rates and availability as well as faster service response times.
