Underground Mining Electric Vehicles – The Premium PSU ODX-6000 Inverter

To continue improving work conditions for underground miners, the industry is seeing a shift from light diesel vehicles to electric vehicles. This change benefits miners by reducing pollutants in confined spaces of mine shafts, lowering heat contribution, and reducing noise overall.

The rugged underground mining environment can be quite taxing on conventional electric vehicles. A robust EV design is required to stand up to these challenges, and in turn, a matching power inverter is required. The Premium PSU ODX-6000 inverter is such a solution to meet those demands.

The ODX-6000 is designed for the railway industry's highly demanding environments. It provides a robust system with a high tolerance for vibration and heat, perfect for electric vehicles in underground mining.

This highly robust 3-phase sine wave inverter has a maximum power output of up to 6000VA. The series features four models, with input voltage options of 24V, 48V, 72V, and 110V. Additionally, it can be configured to work in parallel with five units, allowing for scaled power outputs of up to 30,000VA.

This ODX-6000 can work with multiple input/output voltage combinations and features adjustable frequency and voltage output options. It can also be controlled remotely, with an option for CAN Bus communication protocols.

Designed for the rigorous environment of the railway industry, the ODX-6000 features various safety features, such as high input/output isolation 3000VRMS, overload protections with current and I2T limited and standard shutdown and auto-recovery settings for over-temperature errors.

The ODX inverter can operate with great efficiency at higher temperatures, delivering full load up to 55°C, but with reduced load up to 62.5%, it can operate as high as 70°C. If you'd like to learn more, we recommend consulting the ODX-6000 datasheet to find any specifics you may need.

The Premium PSU ODX-6000 pure sinewave inverter is perhaps one of the most rigorous and robust inverters in our range. Designed and approved for railway with EN50155 certification and EN45545-2 certification for fire and smoke, this inverter is more than capable of enduring the challenges of underground mining.

If you are an OEM designing EV vehicles for human transportation in underground mining or developing electric vehicles for mining operations in these rigorous environments, the Premium PSU ODX-6000 is a sound solution for inverter needs.
