Functionality and Application

The hub is often used in environments where fire apparatus are built with low-voltage electrical systems (12 V). Its primary benefit is providing continuous onboard AC power (instead of relying solely on shore power) and helping to spread the load of tool charging over time.

• Charging Capabilities: It charges tool batteries continuously from its integrated inverter and lithium battery bank. It uses advanced charging algorithms to optimize the process and enhance battery longevity.

• Battery Capacity Indication: A 100 Ah capacity means the hub can deliver 100 amperes for one hour, or proportionally lower currents for extended periods, ensuring reliable energy storage.

• Power Source: It is typically connected to a generator, solar panel system, or grid supply, using integrated circuitry to manage charging. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with solar and wind energy systems for off-grid or hybrid power solutions.

• System Integration: The hub is designed to work with standard 12 V battery systems and is compatible with various 12 V battery types, including lead-acid, AGM, and lithium-ion. It supports standard communication protocols like CAN bus or Modbus for integration with broader industrial control systems.

Safety and Efficiency

The Kraken Charging Hub is engineered for high efficiency, often exceeding 90% under optimal conditions. It is built for continuous operation in industrial environments.

Safety features include:

• Overcurrent protection.

• Short-circuit protection.

• Voltage regulation features to ensure stable operation even if the power supply fluctuates.

• Advanced circuitry that monitors load conditions in real time and automatically adjusts output to prevent overloads.

• Surge protection circuits to shield the system from voltage spikes.
