Why are electric vehicles being promoted and developed all over the world? On the one hand, it is due to the continuous development of society and the increasing demand for non-renewable resources such as oil, while fossil energy is facing a shortage. In order to get rid of the dependence on fossil energy, the development of electric vehicles has become an inevitable choice for people to travel in the future.
Meanwhile, as a kind of secondary energy, electric energy is not restricted by oil and has a high rate of energy utilization. The popularity of electric vehicles helps to promote green and low-carbon environmental protection, reduce environmental pollution as well as carbon emissions, and play a crucial role in energy saving and carbon neutrality.
As a reliable energy supply device to keep electric vehicles running, charging stations are therefore gaining approval worldwide and are growing rapidly. As an experienced manufacturer of one-stop power supply solutions, MORNSUN has a line of AC to DC power converter, DC/DC converters engineered for charging station applications and to address the challenge of the latest in electric vehicle charging technology.

Issues with Unsuitable AC to DC Power Converters
The following are some significant challenges that charging stations might encounter when using AC to DC power converters:
1. Low Lifespan
Another difficulty faced by charging stations with unsuitable AC to DC power converters is the limited lifetime of the equipment. There are different factors that might affect the longevity of the equipment, such as voltage imbalance, temperature variations, moisture, current distortions, etc.
2. Safety Issues
Effective safety mechanisms that ensure stability and security are required in AC to DC power converters. Charging stations usually adopt electricity from an outdoor power grid that has large harmonic interference, resulting in a higher actual input voltage of the power supply (up to 290VAC+, or even higher); meanwhile, the power grid of some suburban, highway or mountainous areas will meet the challenge of fluctuated voltage. These sharply increase the risk of damaging the charging station.
In addition, the charging station usually works under harsh outdoor conditions, with a large temperature difference throughout the year and humid, dusty environments, not to mention the electromagnetic interference caused by lightning and thunder. That’s the reason why you should choose the right AC to DC converter for charging stations. Unsuitable AC to DC converters fail to meet higher application standards or requirements, leading to much higher safety risks for charging stations in complex environments.
