Abstract :
With NLG6, BRUSA enters a new dimension of charging! BRUSA Elektronik AG is the first company to produce a battery charger for electric vehicles that is capable of operating on a three-phase current with a power of up to 22 kW. Thereby, the fast charger will be able to fully charge a typical electric car in less than one hour, this is six time faster than the former technology (one-phase with 3.3 kW). Cars from a major European car manufacturer equipped with this charger are already available; other manufacturers have started the evaluation of the new charger in their vehicles [7]. It can be expected that the immense reduction of the charging time will influence the acceptance of e-mobility, as the charging time now corresponds to the duration of a shopping visit or just the time for taking a meal.
