Modular Sensor Designs

CTS designs and manufactures busbar current sensors with accurate monitoring, enhanced safety and  efficient power distribution.  Busbar current sensors are devices used to measure electrical current in busbar systems, which are conductors used to collect electric power from incoming feeders and distribute it to outgoing feeders. Efficient sensing for motor current is critical to electric vehicles (BEVs, HEVs, and PHEVs). 

 

Features

  • Current sensors for mounting on busbar systems​
  • Large range of currents up to 1500 A with ​less than 1% linearity error.

  • Engineering, prototyping, and high-volume manufacturing ​

  • Based on platform design for first time right​

  • Ideal for automotive and industrial applications

Applications

  • High volume Industrial and Automotive with custom specific calibration​

  • Optimized mechanical design for vertical integration
