With the new Charge Control Y, Chargebyte now offers a high-load charging controller for megawatt charging in heavy-duty transport. The IP65-protected control unit is designed to reliably protect charging stations in depots, ports, and logistics centers from extreme weather and high-voltage faults.
Leipzig-based company Chargebyte has launched the Charge Control Y (CCY), a new control unit for megawatt charging stations. Designed for electric heavy-duty transport, the device is ideal for logistics centres, truck depots, ports and motorway service areas. The charging controller is suitable for both equipping new charging stations and retrofitting existing systems.
During development, a key focus was on resistance to interference and harsh environmental conditions. The vehicle interfaces feature reinforced galvanic isolation in accordance with IEC 60664-1, withstanding overvoltages of up to 1,500 volts DC and rated impulse voltages of up to 4 kV.
In the event of a high-voltage fault in the charging cable, downstream control units, the backend and connected components remain isolated. The control unit’s housing is protected against dust and jet water to IP65 standards and is designed for ambient temperatures ranging from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius, as well as humidity levels of up to 95 per cent. All cables are connected via watertight M12 connectors.
Inside the device, two separate computing units work in tandem. While a primary computer manages regular charging and communication, a secondary processor acts exclusively as a safety monitor. This continuously oversees emergency shutdowns and up to four temperature sensors in the cooling system, charging plug and power electronics.
