Tasks
The galvanically isolating DC/DC converter KIC 200/ KIC 300 is primarily designed for IMC® (In-Motion Charging) buses: powered by overhead line, the KIC 200 works as a battery charger, allowing an e-bus to become an IMC® bus.
When powering by overhead line, the road vehicle needs double electrical isolation. The KIC 200/ KIC 300 meets this requirement and provides an interface to the common 800 V e-mobility equipment. With the help of our KIC 200/ KIC 300, e-buses, e-trucks and various specialty vehicles can be upgraded for operation and battery charging from the overhead line network with little effort.
The KIC 200/ KIC 300 is characterized by its high power density and optimized design for roof mounting.

Cable Connections
For electrical interfaces plug-in connectors are used: Harting connectors for DC 24 V / communication and Pfisterer connectors for HV power interface. Plug-in connectors enable pre-assembly of the cables and quick equipment installation on vehicle roof.
Mounting
To fulfill the double electrical insulation between the overhead line and the vehicle chassis, insulated installation of the KIC 200/ KIC 300 on the vehicle roof is required (insulators can be provided optionally). Air duct / cooling air must be transverse to the direction of travel according to the figure below.
