High-Voltage Safe Measurement Systems
High-Voltage Safe Measurement Systems
The high risk potential during measurements in high-voltage environments requires an enhanced safety awareness. This means: The user’s life and health should be put in the fi rst place.
CSM therefore strongly recommends to check the high-voltage isolation of these measurement modules on a regular basis in order to ensure their operational safety at all times. This applies in particular, if high-voltage measurement modules are exposed to strong external influences.
For this purpose CSM developed the High-Voltage Isolation Testing Station, consisting of
This station provides options for testing the high-voltage isolation of CSM measurement modules directly on the customer's premises. This is cost-saving and improves the availability of the high-voltage measurement modules as it is no longer necessary to send them to the manufacturer for testing. During a high-voltage isolation test, the isolation of a measurement input is tested against all other measurement inputs, as well as against the housing, the power supply and the CAN bus.
CSM's measurement modules HV PT MiniModule (HV PTMM) and the HV PT test bench module (HV PT-TBM) allow precise temperature measurements with PT100 and PT1000 resistance sensors in a high-voltage environment.
Safe high-voltage measurements in test benches: With the 19-inch slide-in modules, CSM has created an effective product portfolio for the safe measurement of analog voltages, currents, pressures, humidity and temperatures on high-voltage components in test benches and also in vehicles.
Electric mobility is the future of transportation. The development of modern electric and hybrid vehicles poses new challenges for measurement technology. Not only must the measurement technology for eMobility match the traditional attributes of being accurate, mobile, and easy to use, it must also be safe for the users and the system. CSM high-voltage measurement technology ensures the safety of all measurement applications by means of a HV safe measurement chain from the sensor to the data acquisition.
