|
- Multiple units can be paralleled, for higher power
- Two units can be placed in series for increased output voltage, with no need for center tap connection to the battery
- Non-isolated
- CAN compatibility:
- Direct: plug-in compatible
- VCU: the motor controller requires a Vehicle Control Unit to interface to other components on CAN bus
- HF = High Frequency switching (small transformer)
Also:
Li-Ion BMS
