High-current measurement module cuts
losses
Depending on the model, up to 2000A permanent current, or 4000A for 1s, and voltages up to 300V can be measured.
In comparison with a conventional DIN shunt the IHC-A-RM010/M005 high-current measurement module returns a full-scale measurement voltage of 20%, providing reduced power loss and therefore low self-heating values With its compact size the IHC can be installed directly into the current path

Isabellenhuette has extended the resistance range of both its BVS and BVE low-value SMD current sensing resistors and has expanded the range with the BVR and BRS resistors.
The module is galvanically isolated, and so high currents and voltages can be registered as well.
Depending on the model, up to 2000A permanent current, or 4000A for 1s, and voltages up to 300V can be measured.
A wide range of special functions such as the measurement of direct or alternating current, peak values and effective values, an ampere-hour meter as well as DC in AC measurement turn the IHC into an ideal all-round device for many applications, including: battery-backed power supplies, wind power turbines, current and voltage monitoring in switching cabinets, ampere-hour meters in galvanic equipment and major plant.
The ISA-ASIC low-noise and offset-free data acquisition system carries out measurements with a conversion frequency of 4kHz and 16bit resolution.
Communication with the external computer takes place via a standard RS232 interface.
