Eaton ASC48-ES Solar Charger

The Eaton ASC48-ES Solar Charger is designed for communications network operators who are striving to cut energy costs across the network, and/or to meet aggressive carbon footprint reduction targets. Energy saving efficiency exceeding 96 %, Eaton ASC48-ES Solar Charger ensures that the maximum power is available for you to charge batteries and run load under all conditions.

Input voltage range
100 V DC to 300 V DC
DC Output
43-57.5 V/ 2000 W
Efficiency
>96% peak

More powerful and flexible

The ASC48-ES includes a high-performance Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) function to extract the maximum available power from the solar panels. It is fully compatible with existing Eaton 3G systems such as the APS3 and APS6 systems, with a simple plug-and-go insertion and fast on-line expansion of rectifiers (hot-swap). The ASC48-ES is protected against input over-voltage, surges and over-temperature. It is rated for operation in temperatures at up to 70°C (158°F)

Operate in parallel

The output of ASC48-ES may be paralleled with one or more APR48-ES rectifiers to produce a versatile power solution for both AC or generator power and solar power. This makes it an ideal solution for a fully integrated solar / diesel hybrid solution, or an AC powered system with solar added to reduce energy consumption.
