product components in depot configuration

  1. Power Block: Power cabinet that houses AC to DC power converters called Power Modules. Supplies DC output power to Power Link 2000s. Each Power Block can output up to 200 kW of power.

  2. Power Link 2000: Dispenser that communicates with the bus during charging, connects to the ChargePoint Platform, and dispenses high voltage DC power to the bus through a pantograph connector.

  3. PD Controller: Smart interface that enables a Power Link 2000 to control a pantograph and to monitor the control pilot. Also hosts the Wi-FiClosed Wireless Fidelity access point and RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification reader that enables wireless charging communication with the bus.

  4. Pantograph: Electromechanical connector that lowers onto bus charging rails and delivers high voltage DC charge power to the bus. Raises out of the way when not in use.

  5. Wi-FiClosed Wireless Fidelity antenna: Antenna for wireless communication between the bus and the Pantograph Down 2000 system.

  6. RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification antenna: Antenna for bus RFIDClosed Radio Frequency IDentification tag identification.
