American Traction Systems: Battery Chargers for small and large applications

American Traction Systems


The ATS Universal Source Active Battery Charger converts 3-phase AC voltage input to a controlled DC charging power source. Its novel control algorithm regulates the input current, output current and output voltage to either preset programmable limits or to “on-the-fly” limits received from a battery management system. We also offer our Wayside Charger for stationary installations with a 480V AC input from the grid, output an adjustable DC voltage of 500-800V, up to 400kW or 600A full load DC. This is FAST charging for any battery powered vehicle with a common receptacle.
