Power Distribution Units
for Mobile Machinery.
Custom-configured power distribution solutions for mobile machinery and off-highway vehicles, engineered around the machine's electrical architecture, loads, protection strategy, connectors and operating environment.
A power distribution unit should fit the electrical architecture of the machine — not the other way around.
Voltage, loads, protection strategy, available space, connectors, communication and environmental requirements define the final solution.
Existing PDU platforms provide a proven engineering starting point, while the final configuration is adapted to the individual machine application.
More than a
fuse and relay box.
Electrical Architecture
The PDU is configured around the machine's supply, electrical loads, protection strategy and distribution requirements.
Machine Integration
Connectors, pinout, mounting and physical layout can be adapted to simplify integration into the machine and wiring harness.
Control & Communication
Intelligent architectures can include communication, diagnostics and machine-network integration where required.
Harsh Environments
The solution is selected and configured around the temperature, vibration, ingress protection and EMC demands of mobile machinery.
The architecture defines the solution.
The internal layout of a PDU is driven by the machine's electrical requirements. Power distribution, protection, switching, connectors and control electronics can be combined into one application-specific unit.
Electrical. Mechanical.
System integration.
Electrical Configuration
Fuse ratings, relay functions, power paths and output distribution are configured according to the machine's electrical loads and operating logic.
Mechanical Configuration
Enclosure, mounting, connector orientation and overall packaging can be selected around the available installation space and environmental requirements.
System Integration
The PDU can become part of the wider machine architecture, including wiring harnesses, CAN communication, diagnostics and control functions.
A practical route to
the right PDU.
Define the Machine
Voltage, electrical loads, functions, operating environment and available installation space.
Define the Architecture
Protection, switching, connectors, communication and wiring interfaces are specified.
Configure the PDU
A proven platform is adapted around the electrical and mechanical requirements of the application.
Prototype to Series
The solution can move from engineering and prototype evaluation into serial machine production.
Power distribution for demanding mobile machines.
PDU solutions are developed for machine platforms where robust electrical distribution, simplified wiring and application-specific integration are required.
What do we need from you?
A few basic machine parameters are enough to start evaluating the right PDU architecture.
The objective is not to force the application into an existing product. The starting point is the machine itself.
