Bourns Ed Bm Stransformer Appnote 1540x800 5f88af818fb80

Selecting BMS Transformers for Isolated Communications in High Energy Storage

Oct. 19, 2020
A Bourns app note is a helpful resource detailing the signal transformer features necessary for optimal isolated communications protection in industrial and consumer BMS applications.

Battery Management Systems (BMS) that integrate isolated communications are expected to be an important part of the safety and security of the battery system. To help BMS designers select the right signal transformer, a Bourns app note provides an overview of battery monitoring ICs and battery cell chemistries. It includes important transformer safety features and recommended evaluation tests and electrical characteristics that will aid in increasing Li-ion cell lifespan while enhancing safe operation for end users.
