Continental launches new sensor systems for EV battery protection

Parts supplier Continental will offer two new sensor systems for protecting EV batteries. The Current Sensor Module (CSM) is designed to protect batteries from over-currents by monitoring current and temperature. The ASIL D-compliant module also assists in calculating range by monitoring the current consumed and aids in finding mechanical malfunctions. The company says, “To support… Read more »

Measuring Electrical Power In Confined Vehicle Space

Whether early or late in the xEV development cycle, installing in-vehicle instrumentation for the accurate measurement of electrical power has been a challenge, until now. Accurate competitive vehicle analyses or production validation requires accessing cables’ inner conductors or busbars inside high-voltage components. CSM’s measurement technology has advanced to include new variants of it’s very successful… Read more »

Selecting The Correct Measurement Technology For Your EV Test

Low-speed or high-speed? CAN or EtherCAT? Time aligned or syncronized? Low voltage or high-voltage? Test bench or on-vehicle? Which technology for electrical current? With or without vehicle bus? Can I include video? What about GPS data? Which software do I use to analyze all this data? The list of questions and challenges associated with the… Read more »
