Connection options of the HV Breakout Modules

Easy integration of HV Breakout Modules on test benches and in test vehicles

The HV Breakout Modules (HV BM) are installed directly in the HV power cables and are capable of measuring current directly from the inner conductor, voltage and calculating instantaneous power. Due to the direct measurement from the HV power cables and the integrated shielding, the measurement results are improved compared to other methods.

Connection of the HV power cables to the HV BM

Depending on the type, the HV cables are connected to the HV BMs via one of the following options:

  • Ring terminals for different inner conductor diameters
    • The HV cables are passed into the interior of the modules via appropriately sized cable glands
    • Optional plug & play as a ready prepared, HV-safe plug-in system utilizing an HV Cable Adapter from CSM

  • Phoenix terminals (for the HV BM 3.1 only)
    • Cable routing via cable glands
    • Optional plug & play as a ready prepared, HV-safe plug-in system utilizing an HV Cable Adapter from CSM

Description

Connection of the HV cables with ring terminals

Depending on the diameter of the HV cables, various sized ring terminals are available for connecting the inner conductor ot the measurement points inside the HV BM. Appropriately sized cable glands are attached to the housing of the HV BM. The cable glands ensure a seal around the cable insulation to achieve IP-67 rating

The cable shield is connected to the triangle spring inside the cable gland and makes contact with the HV BM housing. This is done on both sides of the module providing continuity of the shield.

With the cable glands, the HV Breakout Modules can be used safely and even under demanding conditions in test vehicles.

Customer-specific, HV-safe plug-in systems

Optionally, customer-specific, HV-safe plug-in systems can also be individually prepared. The project-specific connector system is attached to the HV cables.
