Phoenix Contact CHARX DC Power Modules
Phoenix Contact's highly efficient CHARX DC Power Modules for fast charging stations are designed for electric vehicles. The devices offer single charging modules for installation in a charging station or entire system cabinets for supplying charging parks in the megawatt range. These electronic devices provide modular and scalable solutions for DC charging with high voltages and currents right through to High Power Charging (HPC) depending on requirements. These feature a modular system for large charging parks in the megawatt range comprised of a system cabinet that can be assembled with 87.5kW power modules via rack mounting. Each cabinet can therefore provide a charging power of 350kW. The family is expanded by the addition of a DC/DC power module for 30kW. The compact 19″ rack modules can be installed directly in the charging station and interconnected in accordance with power requirements.
Features
- 30kW power module for the charging infrastructure

I get anxiety just thinking about having range anxiety, but thankfully some hardworking engineers at Phoenix Contact have been anxiously working to make deploying efficient and scalable charging stations easier. Phoenix Contact's CHARX DC Power Modules provide 30kW of highly efficient AC to DC or DC to DC power in EV fast charging stations designed for electric vehicles.
Galvanic isolation and rack mounting capability offer flexible scalability from a single module to an entire cabinet delivering up to 360kW for use in charging parks. The power module features a digitally controlled power level and CAN-based communication for managing up to 30 modules within one CHARX controller. The 19-inch module has a push lock and T-LOX fast connection technology for rapid installation. Compliant with European safety and EMC standards, CHARX DC Power Modules supply higher power density in an innovative design that delivers over 95% efficiency.
