Virginia Transformer Corp. (VTC) has officially announced the launch of its (E2V) Integrated Power Module, designed specifically for the electric vehicle (EV) market.
More than a transformer, E2V is an integrated power solution that is a self-contained, plug-and-play power module that includes:
- Medium Voltage Switchgear
- Dry Transformer
- Main Breaker Panel
- Low Voltage Power Distribution
“EV infrastructure is rapidly expanding as the US strives to achieve net-zero emissions targets. By 2030 it is estimated 48 million electric vehicles will be in use in the US, supported by 30 million charging stations,” said Shankar Mukherjee, VP Product Management for VTC.
“As the largest US-owned power transformer manufacturer in North America, Virginia Transformer has a reputation for designing and building innovative solutions for flexible deployment. With 50 years of experience and the industry’s shortest lead time, the EV market is a natural fit for VTC,” he added.
The uniqueness of E2V is the flexible configuration that enables users to build a scalable, integrated power module that includes:
- Low voltage distribution that can support rectifiers, Level 2, or DC fast chargers
- Output power ranging from 500kVA to 4,000kVA
- AC input voltage ranging from 15 to 35kV Class
- All units have AC output voltage of 480V AC 3-phase at 60Hz
“EV infrastructure’s biggest challenges are procurement, logistics, coordination, and field integration. Virginia Transformer’s E2V solution addresses these issues by housing and connecting the main components (switchgear, transformer, breaker) into an integrated unit allowing VTC to quickly deliver a plug-and-play, easy to install, power solution supporting EV infrastructures rapid development, construction, and upgrades,” Mukherjee added.
