Temperature measurements during “thermal propagation”
New use case
High-voltage batteries in vehicles store large amounts of energy to power the electric motor. However, this is precisely where there is an enormous potential for danger. Tests on thermal propagation, i.e. the uncontrolled chain reaction of overheating that jumps from one cell to the next and can ultimately cause the battery to catch fire, are standard according to international norms. In the right test environment and with the appropriate measurement technology solution, these tests can be successfully carried out on high-voltage batteries. The measured data allows conclusions to be drawn about adequate construction and about whether safety precautions are lacking in an emergency.
