EDfuse

This particularly applies to purely electrically driven vehicles as the range rapidly reduces is the use of electrical energy is not optimized. The consumption of fuel is also negatively affected in the case of vehicles with a conventional combustion engine, if the electrical energy is not distributed and used as well as possible. This is why optimization of the energy flow is extremely important. With EDfuse, a modular measurement system developed by EDAG, energy efficiency in the vehicle can be significantly increased.

Currents and voltages are precisely detected and documents in order to determine the optimal distribution of electrical energy. Due to the integrated galvanic separation between measurement technology and the vehicle, as well as all measurement elements among themselves, measurements in on-board networks with different supply voltages are possible; low-volt, high-volt or combined low-high volt systems. It is not important whether short or long-term measurements are to be carried out. The existing fuse elements can simply be replaced with intelligent measurement sensors and the fuse function is maintained.
EDfuse stands for comfortable and efficient validation of electrical energy distribution in the vehicle.

In contrast to standard measurement methods such as current probe measurement or digital mulitmeters, the EDfuse works self-sufficiently. After one-off installation, EDfuse can carry out the measurement independently and save the detected data. The data can be analysed at a later date. EDfuse is available in three extendable basic configurations. They form the basis for application according to requirements. Due to the modular design of EDfuse, almost all challenges with respect to the distribution of energy in the vehicle can be mastered without any difficulties. EDfuse consists of the following, individually available basic configurations:

• EDfuse service: Basic system for use in workshops as a handheld device with two sensors
• EDfuse CAN: Consisting of CAN interface and low-volt sensors. Suitable for use by OEMs and suppliers in combination with external data loggers.
• EDfuse universal: Comfortable universal measurement system with handheld device, CAN interface(s) and sensor(s).

EDfuse can be extended with further modules thanks to the modular construction. Whether in stationary or mobile use, the system can also do justice to complex demands. For example, the EDfuse handheld device can be simply and quickly combined with EDfuse CAN in order to increase the number of measurement points in the vehicle. Due to the simple expansion of modules, EDfuse is suitable for use in the workshop as well as for performing highly complex measurements in vehicle development.

• Measurement of currents and voltages in high-volt and high-current systems of hybrid and electric vehicles.
• Identification of quiescent and operating current problems
• Validation and optimization of electrical energy distribution in vehicles
• Long-term data storage of all measured currents and voltages
