VOSS, Amphenol and GG Group unveil 1 MW liquid-cooled EV charging harness with reduced cable size

Charged

The new system integrates active liquid cooling throughout the charging cable and socket to reduce thermal losses and enable significantly higher current loads. By actively cooling the areas of peak thermal load, such as the DC contact chambers in the socket, the system avoids overheating without increasing conductor size.
