Class I Division II Battery Chargers

The APS BC-6964 Battery Charger is designed for hazardous location applications requiring Class I Div II equipment.

The BC-6964 accepts 3-phase 60 Hz AC input and generates 24 VDC 50A nominal output. The charger provides seamless transition from a voltage source to current limit operation for optimum battery charging. In voltage mode, the Charger regulates to a factory set DC voltage. While operating as a voltage source, the Charger regulates its output voltage to provide optimum charging of the battery. If the output current demand exceeds a maximum setpoint, the Charger seamlessly transitions from voltage source to current limit, where the Charger folds back the output voltage to limit the current to the maximum charge current (A_limit). As the battery load decreases to less than A_limit, the BC-6964 will seamlessly return to voltage mode operation.
