Ensuring the safety and reliability of electric vehicle (EV) components is paramount, particularly concerning high-voltage cables. These cables are often designed with shielding to mitigate the risks associated with high shield currents, which can lead to issues such as cable fires. Accurate and detailed measurements of these shield currents, especially during real-world driving conditions, are crucial for validating the effectiveness of cable designs.
Webinar Focuses on Advanced Measurement Solutions
Vector is set to present a comprehensive webinar as part of the upcoming Virtual Conference on EV Engineering. This session will delve into the critical topic of measuring shield currents in high-voltage EV cables, offering insights into advanced measurement techniques and tools.
The webinar will highlight the capabilities of the HV BM 1.2+S, a device designed for simultaneous acquisition of both inner conductor and shield currents. With a high data rate of 1 MHz via EtherCAT®, this technology offers robust performance, making it suitable for the demanding and often harsh environments encountered in automotive testing.
