New Ni-MH Battery for High Cycle & Short Backup Applications

At Helios we are thrilled to announce a new  battery backup solution which is suitable for high cycling applications and ideal for combination of short time backup and high peak power surges. This plug & play energy storage solution has 2 important features for remote sites: easy installation and transportation. Check out below some features that makes this Ni-MH Battery a great option to backup your mission critical loads. Plug & Play Battery The solution is designed to accommodate up to 6 battery pack modules in a standard 19 inches shelf (parallel and/or series configurable). To install the battery modules, increase the capacity afterwards or even replace a module, it is fully plug & play, safe (48Vdc) and light (8.2 kg). No BMS is required (CCCV charging method). 1000 surges, every day! These Ni-MH battery cells are designed to withstand a thousand of surges per day for more than 10 years (more than 3 million surges during its lifetime). This solution is ideal for short backup of a few minutes, to substitute a flywheel and to absorb a large amount of inrush currents of any type of loads. The high temperature stability offered by Ni-MH technology saves costs, space and weight for multiple applications. Safe Battery This Ni-MH sealed battery is composed of aqueous electrolyte. It’s therefore not flammable, explosive, corrosive or toxic, no restrictions for transport by air, road, rail or sea. No specific authorization or training for your technicians and UL1973 compliant. Recyclable This mature technology (Ni-MH was already used in the automotive industry 20-year-Toyota Prius) also environment-friendly and fully recyclable as it does not contain heavy metals (RoHS compliant product).

10:1 Ultra Wide Input Range DC/DC Converters for Railway Applications

The New range of HAE150U and HAE200U DC/DC Power Converters are suitable for the harsh mechanical and electrical environment of traction vehicles and rolling stock applications. It has an ultra-wide input voltage range from 16V to 160V and covers all the input power systems of railway applications which are 24V, 28V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 96V, 110VDC. Ultra-wide input voltage converters usage has risen lately, due to the increase of onboard electronic systems such as video surveillance, access and ticketing machines, passenger device-charging USB ports, infotainment, information systems and telemetry. According to EN50155 standard (defines the supply requirements for electronic equipment in rail applications), equipment powered directly from batteries with no voltage stabilizing device must function properly with input voltages that range from 0.7VN to 1.25VN during normal operation. The equipment must also withstand input voltage drops of 0.6(VN) for 100 ms and overvoltage surges of 1.4VN for one second that may occur during startup. The HAE150U & HAE200U Series with its input voltage range from 16V -160V or 12VDC in transient operation meets stringent railway sector performance standards. Up to 93% high efficiency means a reduced requirement for cooling, and their remote on/off facility enables simple, reduced power consumption in the off condition. Plus, it reduces the capacitance of hold-up capacitors by applying the enhanced hold-up function to meet the requirements of supply interruption and change-over. HAE150U and HAE200U feature full protections, such as: over current protection, short circuit protection, output over-voltage protection, input under-voltage lockout, over-temperature protection, etc. HAE150U and HAE200U meet IEC 62368-1, EN 50155, and EN 45545-2 for ITE and railway applications.
