INTRODUCTION:
The KSM enclosure houses a KAPower module, a contactor, a PLC Module, a circuit breaker,
cables, conductors and connectors. The cover of the KSM enclosure can be removed by
unscrewing and removing the ten (10) fasteners found on the top and sides of the
enclosure. The cover should only be removed for servicing or troubleshooting at the
direction of KBI.
KAPower is designed as an auxiliary power source to be installed in parallel with your
cranking batteries. It derives its power from your batteries or engine charging system and
discharges this power when needed. KAPower is intended for supplying electric power to
various loads operated in high pulse power (engine cranking) modes. KAPower will
enhance and provide for reliable cranking and starting of internal combustion engines. You
may be able to remove half or all of the existing starting batteries. See Appendix A for
detail.
KAPower :
•Stores Cranking Voltage Until Needed •Long Service Life – Upwards of a Million Cycles
•Performance Virtually Unaffected by Temperatures •Increases the Life of Batteries
•Requires NO Maintenance •Safe & Easy to Install
KAPower Basic Description:
The KAPower module is an energy storage device. KAPower is a High Power device with
Low Energy density. The cranking or discharge periods will be short but powerful
(typically less than 30 seconds) with the time to full recharge rated in tens of seconds.
Recharging can be accomplished from virtually any 12 or 24 volt DC electrical power
source. Cycling, charge and discharge events will not wear out the device. The Cycle Duty
is rated in hundreds of thousands of cycles approaching one million cycles.
The KAPower Module:
The KAPower module, which is housed within the KSM enclosure, represents an internal
bank of 6, 10 or 12 capacitor cells series-connected to each other.
An Electrochemical Capacitor (EDLC):
An Electrochemical Double layer Capacitor represents a device capable of storing and
delivering electric power due mainly to the existing capacitance of the double electric
layer, which is formed by the capacitor's electrodes being in contact with electrolyte. The
capacitor consists of negative and positive electrodes with terminals, separator,
electrolyte, and a shell.
