Alpitronic

Alpitronic is an Italian company that develops, produces and sells scalable DC fast chargers for electric vehicles. Its signature Hypercharger line is built around power electronics, and its current range covers 50 kW to 1,000 kW. The company is based in Italy and has been developing DC fast chargers since 2017. Alongside its chargers, it runs a laboratory that tests the endurance of power semiconductor modules.

Hypercharger range

The site lists three chargers. The most efficient model is rated at 400 kW, a 200 kW charger is offered with a small footprint, and a compact wall-mountable unit delivers 50 kW. The company names the HYC1000 in its product lineup. Alpitronic describes its chargers as compact and efficient, and says Hypercharger units are installed in many European countries.

Power electronics testing

Alpitronic has designed power cycling test benches since 2010. Its laboratory assesses how long power semiconductor modules last, and its testing protocols follow ECPE Guideline AQG 324. The company presents this work as part of its own power electronics expertise. Its site also invites engineers to join its Power Cycling team to help ensure the reliability of power modules.

Applications and contact

The site says the laboratory gives accurate evaluations for a range of applications, and that this testing is the basis of its power cycling work. Its test protocols follow a guideline that power electronics makers worldwide treat as a standard. Visitors who want to discuss a project can use a contact button, and the company invites engineers to apply for roles in its Power Cycling team.
