Enovation Controls has expanded its portfolio of power distribution solutions with the launch of the High Current Power Distribution Module (HCPDM), a rugged, sealed module engineered to handle high current loads in demanding environments. The product builds on the success of the
company’s IX3212 Intelligent Xpansion Power Distribution Module and introduces advanced capabilities tailored to heavy-duty applications.
Engineered for High Current Demands
The HCPDM is designed to manage up to 200 amps of total current across eight high-side outputs, each capable of handling up to 40 amps individually. These outputs are electronically protected and can be configured for various types of loads including hydraulic systems, fans, pumps, lights, and other high-draw components.
Each output provides real-time status feedback, enabling integration into control systems for enhanced visibility and diagnostics. Built-in short-circuit and overcurrent protection features help safeguard downstream components and wiring, reducing the risk of electrical failure.
Robust Construction for Harsh Environments
The HCPDM features a sealed aluminum housing, rated to IP67 and IP69K standards. This ensures resistance to water, dust, and other contaminants, making the unit suitable for use in harsh operating environments including agriculture, construction, mining, and forestry equipment.
Its robust design is intended to meet the high durability requirements of mobile off-highway and specialty vehicle applications. The HCPDM can withstand extreme temperatures and vibration.
Seamless Integration and Diagnostic Features
The HCPDM communicates via J1939 CAN protocol, allowing seamless integration into existing electronic control architectures. It supports addressable control and monitoring functions, providing equipment manufacturers with flexible configuration options through software tools.
Diagnostic capabilities include open load detection, short-to-ground and short-to-battery protection, and individual output current monitoring. These features enable preventive maintenance and faster troubleshooting, ultimately reducing system downtime.
Solving Real-World Power Management Challenges
In mobile equipment and off-highway applications, power distribution systems face a combination of extreme environmental stress and increasing electrical complexity. The HCPDM directly addresses these challenges by integrating protected high-amperage outputs, real-time monitoring, and fault detection, all in a compact, weather-resistant housing.
By replacing multiple components with a single intelligent module, it helps reduce potential failure points and simplifies troubleshooting in the field. The addition of open load and short circuit detection further improves operational safety and reduces equipment downtime. Whether mounted near the battery, within the control panel, or directly on the chassis, the module’s versatility allows for installation where space is limited and reliability is paramount.
