MORE THAN A SIMPLE CHARGER
The TM4 BCI20 is an innovative bi-directional charger inverter that functions as battery charger and inverter for use in a variety of electric and hybrid vehicle applications. It is designed to use the full current range from the AC mains as defined in SAE J1772 for a maximum charge power of 18kW on 240 VAC. When the vehicle is in use, the charger becomes an autonomous inverter that can provide two independent three phase outputs to power various auxiliary loads.
«To our knowledge, no other unit on the market offers so many features, such power density, quality and ease of integration at such a competitive cost. »
