CW-425

Quiescent current measurement

The CW-425 offers a simple possibility to obtain highly precise measurements of the no-load and working currents of devices. The CW-425 offers a total measurement range of ±150 A, divided into three measurement ranges. The change from one measuring range to another is possible almost seamlessly during operation.

The measured values are transmitted via a CAN interface. Devices settings such as baud rate of the CAN bus and output transfer rate can easily be configured via CAN messages. It is possible to read in a description file (dbc file) in software tools to display the measured values. The insulation voltage of up to 1000 VDC between the measuring circuit and the control circuit offers sufficient protection for other devices in the control circuit. 

The module is available in a rugged desktop housing, a holder for a top-hat rail for installation in a test bench is also offered.

The CW-425 is destined for automated measurement of no-load and working currents of control units, for example in automotive environments. At the same time the CW-425 is an ideal supplement for our CW-300 series designed for test bench applications.
