Safety in temperature measurement in high voltage areas for mobile and stationary applications

Due to permanently decreasing resources and an increasing environmental consciousness of society, alternative modes of drive are becoming more and more important.

Electric mobility offers one possibility to which besides of electric vehicles also hybrid ones belong. In order to furnish the necessary power, high voltage supply systems on board are needed which get their energy from high voltage batteries.

Thus the available energy is limited and a considerable part drops away as thermal power loss (heat). The temperature measurements during the development of this technology are necessary to localize these sources of  thermal loss. Therefore, measuring systems – sensors and modules – are used which can be exposed to high voltages. This requires elevated safety demands that will change the field of temperature measurement technique basically.

SAB Bröckskes GmbH & Co. KG  and CSM GmbH have developed for this application a special temperature measurement system with which the safety of the user from sensor via data collection (data logger, laptop, etc.) is of highest priority! Furthermore, SAB is specialized to offer temperature sensors particularly developed for the individual application of the customer.

This new temperature measurement system will be presented on the Fair “Automotive testing Expo Europe” from 4^th to 6^th June 2013 – booth no.1613 (SAB Bröckskes GmbH & Co. KG) and booth no. 1728 (CSM GmbH).
