Power Manager The SFC Power Manager 3G
The SFC Power Manager makes it possible to recharge batteries in the field in a highly efficient way. In doing so, it makes use of nearly every available source of power. Thanks to its ability to provide a variety of output currents, it also permits flexible deployment of a variety of devices as well. A soldier can now power nearly any device with the aid of the SFC Power Manager, thereby significantly reducing the weight of batteries that were formerly needed to perform the same task.
SFC Power Manager 3G - Design
The Power Manager consists of two direct-current voltage converters. One of these converters transforms current from 30 volts downwards and feeds the 10- to 24-volt outlets. The second converter transforms from 12 volts upwards to feed the 30-volt outlet. SFC has invested years of experience into developing the high-performance electronic circuitry of this ultra-efficient unit. The consistent application of this technology plus the close collaboration with leading manufacturers of semiconductors gives the SFC Power Manager an efficiency rate of more than 96 percent, setting it apart from other available systems on the market.
SFC Power Manager 3G - Uses
The SFC Power Manager allows soldiers to avail themselves of a variety of electrical power sources. Among them are batteries, solar panels, generators and, of course, fuel cells. The Manager adapts to each source fully automatically. The SFC Power Manager likewise adjusts the current on the output side completely automatically for any devices connected to it. The main advantage: with the SFC Power manager, it’s no longer necessary to bring along a separate source of power for each and every device. Instead, whatever power source is available can now be tapped to provide energy to a full array of devices.
The bottom line is that soldiers don’t need to carry nearly as many batteries with them as before. The SFC Power Manager and the JENNY fuel cell operating in tandem can reduce weight by up to 80 percent!
