3.1 Technical data overview
HV Breakout Modules (HV BM) are specifically designed for safe measurements on cables
carrying high voltage. Current and voltage are measured and the instantaneous power is
calculated online in the module.
The voltage is measured directly. The current measurement is done by using a shunt module,
which contains a differential amplifier as well as a temperature sensor and memory for cali-
bration data for automatic online temperature compensation.
The HV BM outputs the measured data at a data rate of up to 1 MHz via the EtherCAT®/ECAT
interface and at a data rate of up to 10 kHz via the additional CAN interface at the same time.
This allows fast data acquisition via Ethernet with simultaneous data recording via a CAN data
logger.
The HV BM is integrated into the HV power cables by feeding the cables through PG glands
into the inside of the module and connecting them there.
CSM provides shunt modules with different measurement ranges for HV BM 1.1 and HV BM 1.2.
The shunt modules are selected individually and are permanently mounted.
