Vanair adds RV OEM Solutions Program

Vanair Manufacturing, a Lincoln Electric Company, is introducing an RV OEM Solutions Program built around its EPEQ Electrified Power Equipment ecosystem for the recreational vehicle (RV) market. The new program gives RV manufacturers one supplier for the complete energy system on a coach.

EPEQ is an integrated architecture that works alongside existing power generation, storing energy efficiently, converting it cleanly and giving the owner more usable power between starts. The 48-volt inverter line includes the INVERTER3600 at 3.6 kW and 120VAC, the INVERTER5000 at and 240VAC with stacking to 10 kW, and the INVERTER6000 at 6 kW and 120/240VAC with a low-frequency design and 300% surge capability. All are UL 458 certified.

The ELiMENT 48-volt lithium iron phosphate batteries carry an IP67 rating, UL 1973 certification, RV-C CAN communication, a dedicated solar port built into the battery, simultaneous charging and discharging and individual cell monitoring through the integrated battery management system. Because no special venting is required, enclosed compartments, underbody mounting and van-style builds all remain available to the designer.

EPEQ Solar Assist tends and supplements the battery bank on both 12- and 48-volt platforms. The EPEQ Smart Display consolidates battery state of charge, inverter status, solar input and diagnostics into a single interface.

The architecture also supports load-transfer technologies and supporting modules, allowing 12-volt systems and existing platform components to integrate rather than compete.
