HAH3

The HAH3 product family comprises tri-phase current sensors designed for measuring DC, AC, and pulse currents in high power and low voltage environments. These current sensors provide galvanic isolation between the primary circuit (high power) and the secondary circuit (electronic circuit).

The HAH3 sensors offer a variety of current measuring ranges within the same housing, from ±200 A up to ±1500 A. 

Utilizing open loop Hall effect technology, HAH3 transducers are ideal for high power motor control and traction inverter applications, featuring a high level of integration.

The open loop Hall-based current sensors measure the magnetic field generated by the primary current flowing in a busbar inserted in the sensor slot and delivers a galvanically isolated output proportional to the primary current. The sensor can measure bidirectional DC and AC currents with an output at 0.5 V for -IPN, 2.5 V at 0 A and 4.5 V at +IPN.

With a ratiometric output, the current sensor can share the same power supply as the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and prevent further error during the signal conversion due to reference mismatch.

The tightly controlled assembly and calibration of a LEM designed magnetic core with a LEM proprietary ASIC results in low offset, excellent linearity and high global accuracy specified over temperature and over lifetime.

The HAH3 family has been designed to achieving fast response time, a high bandwidth and withstanding high dV/dt levels required for motor control applications. Because the mechanical integration of the sensor is key for a compact assembly, LEM has developed two distinct designs within the HAH3 family:

• The HAH3DR S07/SPx versions are specifically designed to fit within an inverter module such as the Infineon Hybridpack^TM Drive, with press-fit connection to the gate driver board.
• The HAH3DR S0x versions are designed to fit on thick busbars and available with a cable connector. S0x versions are specifically recommended to customers who look for a solution where the current sensor is located further away from the inverter module.

HAH3 current sensors, known for their proficiency in measuring DC, AC, and pulse currents, are widely employed in various automotive settings. 

Examples of these applications include:

• Starter Generators
• Traction Inverters
• HEV applications
• EV applications
• DC / DC converter

HAH3DR S07/SPX FOR IGBT AND SIC INVERTER MODULES

Lead pitch, busbar opening, mounting holes, package height and press-fit connection to the gate driver board, the HAH3DR S07/SPx is designed to perfectly fit standard inverter modules such as Infineon’s Hybridpack^TM Drive package and other pin-to-pin compatible modules.

The HAH3DR S07 is available in different versions to address specific mounting requirements:

HAH3DR S0X FOR VARIOUS BUSBAR CONFIGURATIONS

The HAH3DR-S06, S0A, S0D, S0E, S03/SP4 allow for current measurement on different configurations of busbar shape, thickness, and pitch. They also feature a cable connector for direct connection of the sensor output to a control board which may be located further away from the inverter. The larger busbar aperture allows to isolate the busbar with enough clearance and creepage with an airgap or with an additional insulating layer depending on the requirement.

The HAH3DR S00/SP4 offers a through hole connection to the gate driver board if located right on top of the sensor.
