May 5, 2015 1:00 AM EDT

New system offers up to 95 percent power conversion efficiency for loads up to 63A; provides a direct replacement for Eltek’s popular SMPS 700 system

DRAMMEN, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Eltek, today announced the Flatpack S Wallbox, a new high-efficiency (HE) power system with flexible power configuration for small-load industrial, marine and rail applications.

Eltek’s Flatpack S Wallbox is a new product that utilizes Eltek’s compact, Flatpack S high-efficiency rectifiers, which typically achieve AC/DC power conversion efficiency levels above 95 percent at 48V DC output.

The Flatpack S Wallbox was designed for distributed power applications in industrial, railway and marine applications. It is ideal for control and protection, SCADA, emergency lighting or diesel start applications. There is also a version of the product that fulfills the DNV 2.4 standard for shipboard communications and safety and automation systems.

The modular system measures only 271 mm wide by 370 mm tall and 193 mm deep. It can accept one or two Flatpack S rectifiers, with 230V single phase input between 85 and 300VAC/ DC. 24V modules are available in 500W and 1000W outputs; 48V modules are available in 1000W and 1800W outputs. The system features two-pole load and battery distribution (LVBD).

“The Flatpack S Wallbox is a big advance for small-load applications both because it brings HE technology and also because it is the only modern design that features the easy maintenance, power configuration flexibility and controller functionality that help to reduce energy and management costs significantly,” said Lars Dousa, Eltek’s Executive Vice President of Industrial Power. “We have many customers in this market who have asked for these features and I think they will be very excited to see just how much we’ve delivered on their requests.”

Eltek is a successful solution provider for this market with its SMPS 700 system and other products. The Flatpack S Wallbox is a drop in replacement for this system allowing customers to get improved manageability and power efficiency in the same form factor with the same installation points and electrical cable locations.

The Flatpack S Wallbox can be managed by Eltek’s advanced Smartpack S controller that provides remote monitoring, maintenance and data collection.

The Smartpack S has enhanced battery management capabilities including extensive testing features, automatic temperature compensated battery charging, and support for automatic and manual boost-charging methods. In many cases, these features can extend the life of batteries and provide an accurate estimate of battery capacity and remaining lifetime.

The chassis offers IP23-level protection. The Flatpack S Wallbox is simple to administer, with a removable front panel that provides easy access for service and installation.
