The latest development in measurement technology from Isabellenhütte is a compact current measuring module. The shunt-based ICD-A system has a sealed six-pole MCON connector, which is commonly used in the automotive industry. It protects the signal and power transmission from external influences.

With transmission rates of up to 1 Mbit/s, the connection provides digitised data in CAN bus 2.0 format, and ensures a high level of measurement precision for its users. The microcontroller used for digitisation includes, among other features, an AC/DC converter, temperature measurement and voltage regulation.

This solution also offers ultra-low energy consumption, which the sensor can also measure and supply independently – an advantage that is particularly important in the area of e-mobility.

The ICD-A is available in three variations with different current levels: 100 A, 300 A and 500 A. All models have the same dimensions. Alongside the automotive solution, Isabellenhütte also offers a version of the measurement technology system for industry in the form of the ICD-C model.

Both ICD-A and ICD-C boast a highly compact design. This makes them particularly suited to applications where space is tight in terms of assembly, because they are more than 50% smaller than comparable products. Galvanic isolation was not used, as customer applications always have their own built-in galvanic isolation.
