Shielded cables are often used in electric vehicles to prevent the effects of high shield currents, such as cable fires. Detailed measurements of the shield currents – especially during test drives – help to verify whether the cables are properly designed.

Join this webinar to learn how the HV BM 1.2+S simultaneously acquires inner conductor and shield currents at a data rate of 1 MHz via EtherCAT®, with a robust design that is ideal for harsh environments.
