Information about the MEAN WELL BIC-5K-380

The MEAN WELL BIC-5K-380 is an advanced 5kW bidirectional power supply specifically engineered for High-Voltage DC (HVDC) applications. It acts as a versatile energy converter capable of both AC-to-DC conversion and DC-to-AC grid reinjection, making it ideal for energy recycling in battery formation/grading and kinetic energy recovery systems. A standout feature is its Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 3% during power return, ensuring high grid compatibility and efficiency. With a 1ms bidirectional transfer time, it provides nearly instantaneous switching between energy sourcing and recycling. Designed for high-reliability industrial use, it features conformal coating for PCB protection and is compliant with Over Voltage Category III for direct grid connection. The BIC-5K-380 is highly scalable, supporting active current sharing to parallel up to 6 units for a total system capacity of 30kW.
