DC PowerCube 48 VDC - 80 A
48 VDC heavy-duty battery charger/power supply, up to 4.3 kW, with dual input from shore power (90–264 VAC) and Genverter PM generator, plus 12 V/20 A slave output.
Description
The WhisperPower DC PowerCube 48 VDC – 80 A (part number 60202003) is a heavy-duty battery charger and power supply for large DC systems with big battery banks and significant DC consumption on marine and mobile/off-grid installations. It converts grid or generator power to ripple-free DC for lighting, electronics, pumps and other loads, and can operate as a power supply without batteries.
Key features
- Up to 3.5 kW from shore power and up to 4.3 kW from a Genverter© PM generator
- Dual input: AC grid supplemented by Genverter© input with adjustable load and rpm
- Adjustable AC input current (2–16 A) to match any shore supply
- 3+ step charging for AGM, gel, open/sealed lead-acid, traction and lithium-ion batteries; selectable via laptop or dipswitch
- 12 VDC / 20 A 3-step slave output
- WhisperConnect CAN-bus for central monitoring; standard analogue panel supplied
- Relay outputs for status and failure; inputs to disable grid or PM input
