Technical Specifications
1500A 3000A Liquid Cooling MCS DC Charging Cable
The electrification of commercial vehicles requires a significant increase in charging capacity. The resulting megawatt level charging system (MCS connector) can provide up to 3.75MW (maximum 3000A / maximum 1250V) of power. Such high currents place extremely high demands on connectors, sockets, and cable systems, requiring a deep understanding of various electrical, thermal, and safety factors.
The system ensures usability, allowing a single person to easily insert the connector into the vehicle socket. All components of MCS adopt an active cooling system. The 3000A MCS charging interface utilizes indirect cooling and efficient coolant distribution to manage thermal loads safely.
These cable solutions comply with all regulatory requirements, including IEC 61851-1, IEC TS61851-23-3, and IECTS63379 for conductive charging of electric vehicles, ensuring maximum safety for operators.
Application and Operation
Where is the MCS Charger Cable used? MCS technology provides ultra-fast charging for heavy-duty trucks, ships, and aircraft. Its applications cover commercial vehicles, maritime, agriculture, mining, and aviation industries, breaking through the limitations of traditional charging.
How to use the MCS charging connector? First, locate the charging port on the heavy-duty vehicle, typically located between the driver's side axles. Then, connect the liquid-cooled MCS cable to the port of the vehicle. The system is designed for maximum flexibility during the upcoming MCS transition phase.
Communication Protocol
What is the MCS communication protocol? The Multipoint Communication Service Protocol Specification defines a protocol operating through the hierarchy of a multipoint communication domain. It specifies the format of protocol messages and procedures governing their exchange over a set of transport connections, ensuring seamless integration based on the Combined Charging System (CCS) approach.
