DCP2

Application
The DCP2 can be applied as battery charger or For 10A, 20A and 40A types:
stabilized network component as a universal DC voltage OUTPUT VOLTAGE
supply. As battery charger parallel operation with other
DC consumers is possible.

DCP2 as battery charger
As battery charger the DCP2 is applied to charge and to
maintain the full-charge condition of closed or gastight
24V (12V) Pb batteries.

In parallel operation with a battery and other consumers

the nominal power for the consumers is given until
interruption from the battery, e.g. for the reason of

Protection
For 5A types:
The DCP2 is protected against continuous short circuit
as well as continuous no-load operation. Further OUTPUT VOLTAGE
characteristics of the DCP2 are the high efficiency and
the high voltage stabilization.

Principle/operation
Application as stabilized net unit (supply)
The DCP2 supplies a constant output voltage,
according to setting, in the range of 23.5-27.5V DC Approx. 60%

component).

The output voltage is held constant as long as the load

does not exceed the nominal current. A load exceeding
the current limitation will automatically reduce the output
voltage (see the curves in the next column). Typical
current limit for each type is specified under Technical 100%
specifications, section Output current. OUTPUT CURRENT
Type DCP2
Application as battery charger
When charging of a discharged battery is initiated, a high
charging current will flow, which is limited and controlled by the
DCP2. Voltage will immediately jump to approx. 2.1V per cell
(12.6V for 12V types and 25.2V for 24V types).

Normally it is recommended from manufacturers of Pb

batteries to obtain 2.25V per cell at temperatures up to 30°C,
before the battery is fully charged and trickling can start. For a
12V Pb battery this gives a trickle charging voltage of 13.5V
(2.25 x 6 cells) and 27V (2.25 x 12 cells) for 24V batteries.

According to information from battery manufacturers, the

charging voltage must be reduced by higher ambient
temperatures and increased by low temperature.

For that reason it is important to adjust the DC voltage output

to the correct level according to the specification for connected
batteries. In case the voltage is adjusted too high according to
ambient temperature, gassing might occur and cause damage
to the sealed battery. As opposed to this, a too low adjustment
will cause an insufficient charging.

Factory setting of the output voltage is 26.8V DC for 24V types

and 13.4V DC for 12V types.

Charging
Charging is carried out according to an I/U characteristic.

When the charging voltage has reached the set value, charging
will be with constant voltage. The charging current drops to
trickle charging current in addition to the current for other
connected consumers.

When reaching the trickle charging voltage the current drops,

which prevents overcharge of the battery (no gassing).

At an ambient temperature >60°C the load capacity of the unit

drops as illustrated below.
