Secure plug-in connections for modular battery storage systems
The Han S connector range from HARTING offers secure connection technology for modular battery storage systems. The compact and flexible housings accommodate contacts for currents up to 200 A and 1500 V and the bulkhead housings can be flexibly rotated through 360 degrees.
Connectors also speed up the construction of hugely beneficial energy storage modules, which allow companies to maintain an uninterrupted power supply and save on energy costs by using delayed load usage.
As demand continues to increase, storage system providers need to connect several cells. The Han S is specially designed to meet this need, providing safe connections for the assembly of battery storage modules in large quantities with maximum safety. The design meets all technical requirements and is based on the latest standard UL 4128 for stationary energy storage systems.
Han S also simplifies servicing and maintenance. If an energy storage module cell shows a drop in performance, the respective management system can switch it off and have it replaced. To do so, the Han S interfaces of the adjacent modules are simply turned to the locked state to make room for the switch-out. This procedure can be done without interrupting the energy storage functions of the neighbouring modules.
HARTING says Han S is the first high-current battery connector that meets the relevant UL and railway standards for stationary energy storage systems. Among others, it fulfils the requirements of UL 4128 for connectors in electrochemical battery system applications, UL 1973 for batteries in stationary applications, and UL 9540 for energy storage systems and accessories. The range is also shock and vibration proof according to the relevant railway standards.
