Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of charging piles, and in particular to UL-certified dual-gun DC charging piles compatible with 480VIT systems. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most charging stations in my country use the TN-S system, a three-phase five-wire power supply system. However, many regions in the world require IT power supply systems, i.e., three-phase three-wire power supply systems, such as the United States. Even in areas using TN-S systems, some areas require IT systems due to power reliability requirements. Traditional three-phase five-wire charging stations are incompatible with this type of power supply system.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0035] This application discloses a UL-certified dual-gun DC charging pile compatible with the 480VIT system. (See also...) Figure 1The UL-certified dual-gun DC charging station, compatible with the 480V IT system, includes a 3P incoming circuit breaker QF, a 3P AC contactor KM1, multiple rectifier modules 1, two charging guns 2, a control module 3, a 3P surge protector SPD, a switching power supply UP, a 3P surge arrester circuit breaker QF1, and a 2P surge arrester circuit breaker QF2. The three-phase incoming terminals are L1, L2, and L3, respectively. In this embodiment, it is a 480V IT PowerSystem, i.e., 480V. The IT AC power supply system includes a 3P incoming circuit breaker QF, a 3P AC contactor KM1, and a 3P surge protector SPD, each with three input terminals and three output terminals. The three input terminals of the 3P incoming circuit breaker QF are connected in series with L1, L2, and L3, respectively. The three input terminals of the 3P AC contactor KM1 are connected in series with the three output terminals of the 3P incoming circuit breaker QF, respectively. The input terminals of multiple rectifier modules 1 are connected in parallel with the three output terminals of the 3P AC contactor KM1, and the output terminals of multiple rectifier modules 1 are also connected in parallel with the output terminals. The charging gun 2 and the control module 3 are both connected in parallel with the output terminals of the rectifier modules 1 to draw power. The control module 3 is also electrically connected to the charging gun 2 to monitor and control the working status of the charging gun 2.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 The control module 3 typically includes a processor, push-button switches, a display screen, fuses, and lighting, and is used to monitor, display, and control the operating status of the charging gun 2.

The PE terminal of a three-phase appliance is electrically connected to the output terminal of PE copper busbar 5.
[0040] The implementation principle of the UL-certified dual-gun DC charging pile compatible with the 480VIT system in this application embodiment is as follows: After the three-phase power supply of the 480VIT power supply system enters from L1, L2 and L3, it enters the rectifier module 1 through the 3P incoming circuit breaker QF and the 3P AC contactor KM1 for rectification, and finally outputs charging through the charging gun 2.
