Operating Functions

The Accessory DC Power Control Module is an electronic device that takes the place of an alternator on a traditional vehicle. On a hybrid or electric vehicle the Accessory DC Power Control Module converts high voltage (300V) direct current (DC) to low voltage (12V) DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12 volt battery.

Normally, the Accessory DC Power Control Module only supplies 12 volts DC when the vehicle is under a normal drive cycle. However there are certain instances when the vehicle is being charged through a standard wall socket where the Accessory DC Power Control Module operation is required to sustain the 12 volt battery.

The Accessory DC Power Control Module is capable of supplying up to 180 Amps of 12 volt DC.
