Bidirectional DC/DC Conversion: the future of efficient energy transfer

The EPC-50A buck-boost family is an advanced series of bi-directional DC/DC converters designed to address the challenges of today's energy transition. Equipped with the latest technologies, these converters can handle a wide range of voltages on both sides. The high efficiency of up to 99.2% ensures effective energy transfer without significant energy losses.

The EPIC 50A family, provides integrated CAN communication for precise control and measurement, which is critical for applications where precision and reliability are required. The modular system can be extended by parallel configuration, providing a robust solution for complex power requirements. With its standardized 2U half rack design of 463mm deep, installation and integration into a 19" rack is easy.

Key Features:

• Wide voltage range
• Voltage and current control
• Soft start from 0V
• MPPT for PV
• CAN communication
• Built-in electrical protections (overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature)
• High efficiency
• Scalable power (by parallel switching)
• Suitable for rack and wall mounting

The EPC 50A 1400 marks the first certified version of this advanced step-up and step-down converter series, with multiple variants soon to be available. With a V high side of 200-1400Vdc and a V low side of 0-1348Vdc at a rated current of 50A and a rated output of 57kW, this converter provides a solid foundation for efficient energy transfer.

At lower voltages, the maximum allowable current may limit the power, but the functionality of the inverter is maintained.
