With the SINAMICS DC Power Converter Siemens starts a new generation of bi-directional DC-DC converters. It combines profound knowledge of DC technology with the advantages of the SINAMICS family. When it comes to quality, reliability and functionality, SINAMICS DCP is second to none.

The SINAMICS DCP is a scalable DC-DC converter, suited for industrial applications as well as for multi generator applications. It is a combined buck / boost converter in one unit. Overlapping voltage areas at the in- and output are possible. The SINAMICS DCP DC power converter enables the realization of energy storage systems using for instance batteries or Supercaps.

Thanks to the high switching frequency SINAMICS DCP comes along in a very space-saving design and less weight. Due to the high efficiency, the overall energy grid feed-in is maximized.

PROFIBUS interface is implemented as standard communication interface. As an additional interface PROFINET (CBE20) or EtherNet/IP can be added. The BOP20 basic operator panel is available for commissioning and local operator control.
