Nexa® 1200

1.2 kW Fuel Cell System

 

 

 

The Nexa® 1200 is the new generation of power modules within the Nexa class. Based on the modern FCGen™ 1020 Stack from Ballard, the system convinces through an improved system efficiency and a higher stack lifetime.

 

  • Rated voltage: 24 V
  • Rated current: 52 A
  • Rated output: 1200 W
  • Output voltage: 22 … 36 V

 

 

Simplest integration

 

The fully-integrated module has an enclosed, robust housing and flat design. Profile rails integrated into the housing offer simple and variable attachment possibilities. The installation position and air ducts are variably adjustable to the application. Wall mounting or installation in a 19” rack can be easily achieved.

 

 

High level of system efficiency

 

An innovative system design and the selection of energy efficient peripheral components allow for an increase of overall system efficiency of up to 15% in comparison to the Nexa Power Module from Ballard.

 

Communicative system

 

The Nexa® 1200 has tolerant and easily accessible interfaces. A central interface hub on the back of the system houses all interfaces and connectors in one place. The system communicates via CAN-Bus.

 

 

Accessories

Nexa® DC/DC 1200

 

The DC/DC converter stabilizes the unregulated fuel cell voltage of the Nexa® 1200 fuel cell module to 24 Volt direct current. 

 

  • Output voltage and max. load current can be set via PC
  • Protects the system against reverse currents
  • Stabilizes the output Voltage
  • High system efficiency
  • Easy to install
  • CAN interface

 

 

Nexa® OSC

The Overall System Controller (OSC) enables the control of the Nexa® 1200 fuel cell power module, DC/DC and other system components.

  • Central visualization of system data
  • Central operation und setting of parameters of all components
  • Enables battery hybridization of the Nexa 1200 fuel cell system
  • Interfaces for an easy integration
