Power Distribution Unit – PDU :

Located between the electrical vehicle powertrain (E-drive) and the vehicle’s auxiliary systems (heating & air conditioning, power steering, etc.), equipped with high-voltage (HV) fuses, the PDU distributes and protects the vehicle’s auxiliary systems against short circuits and over-currents. Generally integrated close to the E-Drive, the PDU is designed to be compact, lightweight and easily accessible, simplifying its installation and maintenance in case of fuse replacement.

Main Features :

• Nominal operating voltage: 400 or 800 Volts.
• HV insulation according IEC60664.
• Removable HV Fuses or fixed bases configuration.
• Designed to meet selectivity with upstream protections (battery disconnect unit).
• Designed to ensure coordination with cable heating/melting curves.
• Switch interlock, HV test point (optional).
• Type of Enclosure: Aluminum or Thermoplastic.
• Type of connection: Pass-trough cable or connectors.
