SMPS BATTERY CHARGER
DESCRIPTION OF AN SMPS BASED BOOST-CUM-TRICKLE BATTERY CHARGER
DESCRIPTION
- Battery Charging is a complex electro technical process, in which the discharged electrical energy must be replenished from the electrical network.
- Quality of the charging process is critical to the health & longevity of the battery.
- Therefore battery charger plays a vital role in life & performance of today’s industrial batteries
- In low voltage & low power application SMPS based automatic charger is the most economic, efficient and versatile solution
- ESI SMPS Chargers are designed to provide a perfect balance between maximum utilization of battery capacity and safe charging
- More intelligent techniques are implemented in modern day’s charger with the help of microcontrollers for faster charging
OPERATION
- A typical Switched Mode Power Supply incorporates a front end AC-DC rectifier to generate an unregulated DC input voltage.
- A high frequency chopper (MOSFET/IGBT) then chops the input DC Voltage.
- After that a high frequency transformer isolates, steps down and converts this square wave DC to square wave AC output.
- It is then rectified & filtered to generate a smooth ripple free output voltage.
- Pulse Width Modulation technique is generally employed to regulate the SMPS output
SALIENT FEATURES OF ESI SMPS BATTERY CHARGER
- Compact & light
- High efficiency, more than 80%
- Very low ripple, typically less than 1% RMS
- Excellent line & load regulation
- Fast transient response
- Very wide input voltage window (100-270V)
- Wall/table/panel mounting options are available as per customer’s requirement
- At least 40% lower in cost compared to equivalent SCR charger
- Automatic Boost/trickle change over with CC-CV mode of charging
- Provision of temperature compensation feedback loop, which enhances battery life.
