📊 KATOY EV Charging Transformers
Katoy EV Transformers play a vital role in the manufacturing of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, converting high voltage electricity from the grid to lower voltages suitable for charging vehicles. They are essential for both Level 1/2 charging (using standard 480V AC to 240V/208V transformers) and DC fast charging (requiring 480V AC to 750V DC transformers).
Katoy can manufacturer EV Transformers to any specification required for your application.
- Voltage Conversion:
Transformers step down the high voltage electricity from the power grid to the voltage levels required by EV chargers (e.g., 240V for Level 2 charging, higher voltages for DC fast charging).
For Level 1 and Level 2 charging, standard 480V AC to 240V/208V transformers are typically used.
DC fast charging typically requires transformers that convert 480V AC to 750V DC to feed the DC rectifiers. - Managing Harmonic Distortion:
EV chargers introduce non-linear loads, which can lead to harmonic distortion in the power grid.
This distortion can cause problems like overheating of transformers, voltage fluctuations, and interference with other electrical equipment. - K-factor transformers: are designed to handle these harmonic currents and are crucial for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of EV charging systems. K-factor ratings (e.g., K4, K8, K9) indicate the transformer’s ability to withstand different levels of harmonic distortion.
