Stay Flexible. Deliver Performance.

Depending on the availability of AC grids, batteries in railway vehicles are charged using various sources: from one-phase or three-phase land connections or threephase “on-board” auxiliary power units, for example. Reason enough to use a charging rectifier that flexibly can adjust
itself to the energy source: the LGI6501 from KACO new energy.

With efficient regulation, the LGI6501 makes available up to 3.3 kW of charging power with a one-phase power supply and up to 6.5 kW of charging power with a three-phase power supply. Active power factor correction (PFC) ensures sinusoidal grid current consumption, and it does this in both operating states, of course. A temperature-controlled charging characteristic facilitates optimum and safe charging of your battery set. A serial interface can be used to set parameters
for the characteristics and charging powers. With the optional CAN interface, it is possible to communicate extensively (status information, warnings and error messages) with a central processing unit (the train computer, for example).

With the sealed IP65 housing, the LGI6501 is designed for outdoor use. An optional 19" rack-mount version is also available.
