Do you realize that when you are charging your E-car at a charging station at home or somewhere in the country, that the conversion of electricity from the grid to the right levels to charge a battery is a complex process with a lot of electronics to control the currents and keeps track of the charging costs etc.

All this is done with products provided by TOP-electronics, for example Sanyo Denki Europe is manufacturer and leader in ventilation products, like fans, and blowers. Temperature control at a system is crucial for the big power conversion products, to keep the life-cycle and the power derating in line.

To pay for the charging Elatec has a good solution for an RFID reader that is able to make the payment secure and safe. The compact module could be delivered in IP97 rating.

The other HMI could be done by a 7” TFT with capacitive touchscreen, which is from Yeebo International, and is controlled by a base board that is controlled by a SOM from GRINN. The base board includes a Quectel module (and antenna) for the best communication to the back office, to follow the quality of the system and maintenance needs and of course the charge cost of the user.

The Bluetooth modules from LM Technologies are available for the local maintenance person to get the software updates by air. Antennas for BTLE and cellular are from Summit Electronics.

For the feedback to the user, it’s good to use audio, so a signal can go thru a speaker from CUI Devices, that is connected to a DAC from Tempo Semiconductor. FSP Technology power is able to support the power needs to make it all happening.

TOP-electronics is happy to have many customers that are helping for a better environment.
