Reliable solutions for the rescue and safety sector

COMPONENTS

Electric powered vehicles

The number of advanced electronic components in trucks and buses is constantly increasing, as is need for electric power in these vehicles. This trend has impacted battery usage and life dramatically. Good charging routines have become a necessity, which has lead us to develop battery chargers which meet the increased requirements of the Automotive industry. Our chargers are powerful, compact and waterproof, and they guarantee high reliability in very harsh conditions.

LEAB by Micropower Group develops and supplies reliable components for vehicles of authorities and organizations with security tasks. These include fire brigades, police and rescue services. A reliable power supply is essential in these areas, and in many situations even vital. Systems with well-coordinated components are best suited for this. Here we show what these can consist of and which industry solutions we offer.

Power and compressed air supply

Full Power: The PowAirBox II

The PowAirBox II (PAB II for short) is a supply system that has been specially developed for rescue and fire service vehicles. It provides a power supply and at the same time a compressed air supply - in other words: charge maintenance for emergency vehicles.

With the 2nd generation of the PowAirBox, we have introduced sophisticated improvements to this industry solution. The optimizations include

  • Low installation depth (75 mm)
  • Sensor monitoring with start prevention
  • Wear-free automatic and manual ejection
  • Robust IP55 housing
  • Intelligent power electronics

CHARGERS

Small but impressive: the MelfBox

LEAB by Micropower Group's MelfBox is ideal for supplying 230V to special-purpose and utility vehicles. With IP55 protection, it is protected against moisture and dirt particles and can withstand use in challenging conditions without damage.

Delayed electrical activation and electronic disconnection of the load before disconnecting/unplugging the coupling prevent contact burn-off and significantly minimize wear.

Highlights:

  • Integrated start prevention
  • Dynamic status display
  • Protection class IP55

DISTRIBUTORS

Right place, right time: The on-board power distributor

On-board power distributors act as a safe sub-distribution solution for single-phase AC voltage networks in vehicles. They are used when several electrical consumers are connected to an inverter at the same time.

Our on-board power distributors are equipped with personal protection switches as standard and are quickly installed. In addition, they are available with a variety of socket combinations and mains priority switching.

  • Personal protection switch
  • Insulation monitoring optionally available
  • Several models available

DC-DC Charger

TS Pro DC-DC-Charger: DIN 14679:2024-02

Our new DC-DC charger TS Pro is specially designed for the needs of the fire brigade sector. The charger can be used universally in 12 V or 24 V vehicle electrical systems to recharge the starter batteries of generators or portable pumps. With five charging characteristics for all battery types and the option of measuring the temperature directly at the battery plus an additional power supply mode (AC adapter function), the TS Pro sets new standards in charging technology.

  • Charger for starter batteries of power generators and portable pumps
  • The first industry solution to fulfill the new DIN 14679:2024-02 standard
  • One device for all types of batteries
  • Power supply mode
  • Automatic detection of the input voltage

ABC

ABC Charger series

The DIN 14679:2024-02-compliant ABC chargers are modern installation solutions for the special vehicle sector, in which charging is fully automatic and microprocessor-monitored.

They are suitable for all vehicle electrical systems with lead-acid batteries and are available in protection class I and II with a charging current of 15 A to 120 A. Additional systems, such as temperature sensors or remote displays, can be easily connected. Thanks to 15 selectable charging characteristics, optimum and gentle charging is guaranteed for all variants.

LPS

LPS II: The all-in-one solution

Mobile power supply is guaranteed with the LPS II - thanks to the integrated inverter, battery management, charging booster, automatic personal protection and more.

DC charging is possible not only from the 12 V, but also from the 24 V vehicle electrical system. Furthermore, the LPS II has a very low self-consumption. In addition, the integrated solar charge controller (MPPT) allows the battery to be charged effectively and gently and expanded with additional devices as required.

DC-DC Converters

Lightweight and compact: DC-DC converters

LEAB by Micropower Group's PP series DC-DC converters easily convert your 12 V on-board power supply voltage to a 24 V on-board power supply voltage, for example for radios. The opposite direction is also easily possible.

The devices in the PP series are characterized by their compact dimensions and low weight combined with a high IP protection rating. This makes them a reliable solution, especially under difficult operating conditions.

BATTERY MONITOR

Battery Watch BW 801e

The BW 801e battery monitor is a two-stage safety system to prevent deep discharge of your battery. Acoustic and visual alarm functions warn you of an imminent deep discharge. If current continues to be drawn from the battery, the battery monitor disconnects the connected consumers from the battery to prevent deep discharge. It can be used in both 12V and 24V vehicle electrical systems.

  • Undervoltage and overvoltage protection
  • Low self power consumption
  • Audible and visual alarm
