Kempower Pantograph Down
Kempower Pantograph Down is an advanced bus charging system that provides an automated charging sequence and fast charging for electric buses.
Kempower Pantograph Down is a DC fast charging system designed specifically for electric buses. The system is advanced and efficient, with an automated charging process that is reliable and speedy.
Versatile charging for electric buses
The pantograph charging system consists of a robust steel frame with a Stemmann pantograph contact, Kempower Pantograph Down Control Unit, and a Kempower Power Unit.
You can connect multiple Kempower Satellites, Pantographs, or other charging points to the same Kempower Power Unit. Up to eight Pantographs or Satellites can charge simultaneously, and the power distribution can be equal or prioritized.
This dynamic power distribution helps to optimize the use of available power resources. The Kempower Pantograph Down system supports up to 480 kW of charging power per output, making it ideal for overnight charging of electric buses and meeting the demanding requirements of modern electric bus fleets.
Kempower Pantograph Down (also called OppCharge) has retractable pantograph arms that move up and down. The pantograph uses local wireless communication between the charging station and the bus.
A pantograph charging system consists of a grid supply, a Kempower Power Unit with dual or triple cabinet, a pantograph cantilever frame, and a current collector dome or pantograph arm assembly.
Both methods, Kempower Pantograph Up and Kempower Pantograph Down, are able to achieve power levels of 450 kW or more.
