Super Capacitor DG Cranking Module
In telecom power infrastructure, reliable diesel generator (DG) starting is critical to maintain site uptime during mains failure, yet conventional battery-based cranking systems often suffer from sulfation, temperature sensitivity, frequent maintenance, and reduced lifecycle performance, leading to DG start failures and network outages. The Super Capacitor DG Cranking Module (SCM-120F) by Intelux addresses these challenges with a high-performance super capacitor–based energy storage solution engineered for instant high-current discharge and rapid recharge capability.
Designed specifically for telecom DG starting applications, this module replaces traditional cranking batteries with a maintenance-free, long-life, and temperature-resilient system that delivers consistent starting torque even after prolonged idle periods. Its ultra-fast charge–discharge performance, high cycle life, and robust operation under harsh environmental conditions ensure dependable DG start-up for BTS sites, telecom shelters, and remote network locations. This makes the SCM-120F an ideal solution for telecom power continuity, reduced maintenance visits, and improved DG reliability across distributed telecom infrastructure.
