Electrical Safety for EV Charging Stations

Charging stations

AC charging stations can often be found at home, in hotels, in public parking areas, or at the workplace. A significant advantage of AC charging is that the conventional 230 V/400 V AC power supply can be used, and an electrician can connect the charging infrastructure. Bender provides advanced electrical safety solutions for charging stations across the globe. Bender’s ground fault protection and IMD EV technology work together to ensure the safe operation of AC charging stations by detecting and addressing insulation faults during the charging process.

Smart charge controllers

The choice of the charge controller is a fundamental decision, as it is the heart of every charging station and thus has a significant influence on its function. With the intelligent CC612 charge controller, Bender provides the basis for an AC charging station or wall box that stands out for innovation, economic efficiency, and safety. Our customers can set up their charging infrastructure solutions and create new business models without the need for expensive and time-consuming development. With insulation monitoring devices like IMD EV, Bender provides continuous safety monitoring for electric vehicle charging stations, detecting potential faults before they escalate.

Through many years of experience in electrical safety and the flexibility of a start-up and established partnerships with charging infrastructure manufacturers, Bender continues to develop its charge controllers and their software. The aim is always to provide solutions that meet the requirements of the final application today and in the future to a high degree, taking into account normative and legal changes. Because of technological developments such as this, Bender continues to pave the way for electric mobility.

Economic efficiency, availability, and safety combined

Advanced design and a high level of intelligence in a minimal space come together to form a complete system that reduces the number of additional components required, and thus guarantees competitiveness. Vehicle owners can also be provided with specific information from the continuous monitoring of AC and DC fault currents during various charging cycles during the charging process. This information enables the vehicle owner to detect faults at an early stage. In addition, the charge controllers monitor the internal hardware and temperature control via sensors, which regulate the charging power in case of overheating and thus prevent the charging system from failing. Bender’s advanced ground fault protection and insulation monitoring devices offer vehicle owners real-time information on fault currents, ensuring the highest levels of safety during each charging cycle.

Through continuous development, the charge controllers offer a combination of safety, economic efficiency, and innovative technology.
