The P42000 isolation amplifiers have been specially conceived for measuring high voltages up to 3600 V (DC). They reliably isolate high potentials at the input circuit.

The isolating distances are designed to withstand permanent voltages up to 3600 V AC/DC and fast transients up to 20 kV. Protection against electric shock is achieved through protective separation according to EN 61140 between input and output and power supply.

Used in Process or Applications

During battery tests, the charging and discharging operations (battery cycles) are continuously simulated in a HIL (hardware in the loop) configuration that corresponds to the typical use profiles when the electric vehicle is in operation. In the process, a series of parameters are measured, including capacity, battery efficiency, and self-discharging.
