ams OSRAM is unveiling its new AS8512 IVT sensor and expanding its family of current sensors with a high-precision component for battery management systems, which are used in solar systems and wind power plants, for example.
The AS8512 IVT sensor enables virtually offset-free, low-noise, 2-channel differential current and voltage measurement in battery management systems. In combination with a shunt resistor connected in series with the battery rail, it can accurately measure a wide range of currents from mA to kA.
Its high-precision data acquisition, low-noise measurement with no zero offset, and synchronous measurement of current, voltage, and temperature make the AS8512 a cost-effective sensor for long-term applications for monitoring industrial battery energy storage systems (BESS), in which energy is stored for use at a later date.
“In this way, customers can design their battery management systems efficiently and benefit from an optimized solution in the field of industrial battery applications thanks to the use of our sensor,” said Andreas Schlapka, senior director Product Line Position & Temperature Sensors at ams OSRAM.
