PHOENIX CONTACT
The Combined Charging System (CCS) is a
standard-compliant charging system for
electric vehicles, which supports both
conventional AC charging and fast DC
charging. Both vehicle connectors fit into the
CCS vehicle inlet. The CCS was developed
in collaboration with leading automobile
manufacturers.
CCS – Combined Charging System
Safe charging
An electromechanical actuator
locking mechanism prevents the
vehicle connector from being
withdrawn during the charging
process or prior to completion
of all necessary transactions such
as payment. This guarantees a
high level of functional safety.
Fast charging
The DC contacts, which are
larger than those used for AC
charging, enable fast charging
at up to 200 A. The ergonomic
handle design and the low inser-
tion and withdrawal forces of the
vehicle connector guarantee fast,
convenient, and easy handling.
Intelligent charging process
Predefined charging mechanisms
and sequences are performed for
both AC and DC charging. For
both charging types, the signal
and control contacts, CP and PP,
are used for communication and
control.
