EnerGenius® DC is SENS’ new generation of industrial and utility chargers based on modular, ruggedized switchmode technology. Ruggedized switchmode power conversion offers huge advantages in size, weight, serviceability, efficiency, and DC power quality to industry. Switchmode reliability is well proven through decades of use in the aerospace industry and military applications — where reliability is critical. Designed and built in the USA, EnerGenius DC builds from the highly successful power conversion and software architectures proven in our MicroGenius 2 family.
EnerGenius DC is purpose-designed for industrial and power utility applications. It is the first, best and only DC power system to combine three dimensions of performance industrial users require:
- Proven reliability & high level of protection against environmental attack;
- The performance, efficiency, size, weight and servicing advantages inherent to modular switchmode technology; and
- Standards compliance and data interfaces unique to industrial and utility end users.
State-of-the-art features
Native 3-phase, 380-480 VAC input
Native 3-phase, 3-wire input enables operation on common 380-480 VAC without the stepdown transformer other switchmode chargers need. Operation
down to 188 volts or on a single phase continues at reduced output. 95% efficiency and unity power factor consume up to 30% less AC current than conventional chargers of similar output.
Protected from electromagnetic threats & dirt
Charger electronics are fully sealed in Faraday cages, providing protection from electromagnetic fields and dirt. Innovative Forced Conduction™ cooling employs redundant fans and easily serviced air filtration to eliminate the problems of dirt-induced failures common to all prior forced cooled designs.
Flexible Configurations
EnerGenius DC employs multiple rectifier modules that enable higher current output or internal redundancy.
• 7 kW compact/portable charger employs one rectifier
• 14 kW wallbox employs either one or two rectifiers. Field power upgrade is possible.
• 56 kW cabinet system accommodates up to eight hot-swappable rectifiers. Dual AC and/or DC buses are available for increased redundancy and fault
tolerance.
• Systems >56 kW are also available. Contact factory.

Modular Design and Redundancy
N+1 redundancy is possible in either the 14 kW or 56 kW systems by installing one more rectifier than is required to meet the base load. Rectifiers are isolated from each other. Output voltage control is maintained by the rectifiers. If communication to the control panel is lost, voltage output is still maintained. Additional redundancy in the 56 kW cabinet is obtained by specifying independent, dual, 3-phase AC feeds. Dual A/B DC bus output is optional.
