A Game-Changer: Pii’s DC Fast Chargers Work with Single-Phase Power
Almost all DC fast chargers are designed for three-phase AC input, and most attempts in the industry to get around the “need” for three-phase power will lead to unattractive step-up transformers, additional permitting costs, and even derating the charger.
Power Innovations International’s line of DC fast chargers are input agnostic, meaning that our products can accept 240 Vac single-phase power, 208/240 Vac 3-phase Delta, and 480 Vac 3-phase Wye – all in a single SKU. This means a simplified customer journey, from product purchasing to installation and commissioning.
Meet Your Fleet Charging Needs, Even with Single-Phase Power
It’s often easy enough to get single-phase power to a site that’s operating level 2 EV charging stations, but mixing and matching level 2 charging infrastructure with level 3 DC fast chargers can quickly become a logistical nightmare. Many fleet operators would love to leverage the speed of level 3 EV charging but lack the ability to get anything other than single-phase power to their sites.
Power Innovations International’s level 3 DC chargers have changed what is possible for EV fleet managers: with our chargers, a single site – running exclusively on single-phase power – can power both level 2 and level 3 chargers. Our level 3 chargers provide up to 60 kW of output running off of single-phase power, with no derating, no step-up transformers, and no expensive and time-consuming permitting.
DC Fast Charging with Single-Phase or Three-Phase Power
Almost any Level 3 DC fast charger will require dedicated three-phase utility service, which significantly limits deployment options (particularly for fleet applications). Pii’s chargers deliver up to 60 kW of output from single-phase 240 VAC branch circuits or directly from a 240 VAC three-phase delta feed: no site redsign or duplication of equipment required.
Single-Phase Power Possible with Pii’s Field Configurable Busbars (Image to be edited, updated)
Field Configurable Busbars
Pii chargers come with a series of busbars, allowing operators to match the charger to the site power in minutes. Whether you have 3-phase Delta or single-phase, our chargers can be matched to your site power infrastructure in almost no time.
Outdoor and Indoor Models
Whether you need a model exclusively for indoor use or a NEMA 4-rated outdoor model, Pii has the design you need for your next site. Our mobile DC fast chargers can supplement level 2 charging for fleet applications, providing charging for behind-fence internal use or customer-facing applications.
cETLus-Listed
All of our mobile chargers are cETLus listed to UL 2202, UL2231-1 & -2, and CSA C22.2 No. 281.1, 281.2 and 346.

Level 2 and Level 3 Charging, All From a Single 3-Phase Panel Board
A 3-phase panel board distributing to 240Vac outputs typically support level 2 charging – but with Pii’s power agnostic power level 3 chargers, fleet managers can pull 3-phase 240Vac out of the same panel board supporting level 2 chargers and supply 240Vac to a Pii level 3 charger.
Pii’s DC fast chargers simplify the process of site assessment, planning, construction, and product installation by simple compability with everything from single-phase power sites to 480V Wye infrsatructure.
