HIS series — high power, liquid cooled, SiC-based
The HIS series is a high-density soft-switching isolated DC/DC converter with integrated 3D liquid cooling. Power density exceeds 6 kW/L and peak efficiency reaches 98.5%. Zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) technology significantly reduces switching loss and electromagnetic interference.
Isolation technology removes insulation risk in the cooling system.
- Flexible adaptation — fits fuel cells across power and voltage ranges
- Wide application — stationary power, rail, marine, road transport
- Custom solutions — tailored to specific power and voltage requirements
- Full input-output isolation, 3500 Vdc withstand
Why isolation matters here. An isolated topology separates the stack from the downstream bus, removing the conduction path that can otherwise place stack voltage on the coolant circuit. For hydrogen installations this is a safety requirement, not a performance preference.
