TfNSW Battery Chargers
Advanced Charging Solutions
Our versatile and programmable 5-stage control algorithms optimize the charging profile according to battery manufacturers' recommendations, maximizing both battery runtime and lifetime. By measuring and controlling battery current separately from load current, we ensure an optimal charging process.
Avoid Costly Mistakes
Never attempt to charge a battery bank with just a power supply. This practice severely shortens battery life, leading to costly premature replacements. Past issues in the rail industry have led to the development of new standards.
Compliance and Excellence
All Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) trains must now adhere to the Electric Auxiliary Power Supply and Battery System for Passenger Rolling Stock standard TS03988:1.0. Advanced Rail Electronics has been addressing 'Power Supply' charging issues on rolling stock for many years. Our world-class designs have always met TS03988:1.0, even before the standard was established. It's as if the new standard was crafted to match our designs, much to the satisfaction of both Advanced Rail Electronics and our customers.
