Solution for energy storage

It is very important that a constant energy distribution is available for supplying critical electrical equipment in a data centre. The large-scale expansion of additional data storage capacity has led to a massive increase in energy demand.

Modular storage units

In a data centre, there are often modular battery storage systems that support the emergency power supply for critical electrical equipment. These battery storage systems usually consist of several storage cabinets that are modularly combined into containers which contain storage units in the form of drawers inside.

Connector solution for front mounting

Pre-assembled connection cables speed up the construction of energy storage systems based on battery modules. HARTING's Han® S series provides safe connection technology for modular battery storage systems. The Han® S is a connector solution for front mounting energy storage modules. For such cases, the connectors can be delivered pre-assembled with the cables, depending on customer specifications.

Contacts for currents up to 200 A and 1500 V can be accommodated in this compact and flexible housing. The bulkhead mounted housings in this series can be rotated flexibly by 360 degrees. The locking together of the male and female housings is intuitive.

"Blind" pluggable connections improve efficiency

In most cases, it is not possible to use connectors in energy storage systems without problems. Their use is problematic where there is no direct visibility of the interfaces or when access is restricted for safety reasons.

For these cases in particular, HARTING has developed accessories that automatically guide both sides of a connector into the correct position for "blind" mating. Here, the Han-Modular® docking frame enables connectors to be connected directly with the help of mounting plates that can be attached to the wall cut-out of a control cabinet. This frame provides room for customised configurations with modular connectors. This means that drawer systems for energy storage systems can be installed quickly and easily.
