Carson company to be featured at battery tech show

Ametherm announced its product lineup for The Battery Show 2018, taking place Sept. 11-13 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Mich.

At booth 2050, the Carson City-based company will highlight its leading NTC thermistor solutions for Li-ion batteries and green energy applications, including its PANR 103395-342 probe assembly with ring lug for high-accuracy temperature compensation and measurement and its MM35-DIN Series and MS35 Series of inrush current limiters for reliable high-power circuit protection.

“Whether they’re being used for energy storage in solar plants or to power electric vehicles, batteries are a cornerstone of green energy, and their performance relies on accurate and reliable NTC thermistors,” said Mehdi Samii, vice president of engineering at Ametherm. “Sensors like our PANR 103395-342 help prolong Li-ion battery life and increase safety during the charging cycle, while our MM35-DIN Series and MS35 Series provide protection against inrush current at turn on in high-power renewable energy applications. We can’t wait for these solutions to make their Battery Show debut.”

For Li-ion battery power applications, the ring lug of Ametherm’s PANR 103395-342 probe assembly provides easy and secure mounting to battery terminals. The device is extremely accurate and experiences minimal drift from its initial electrical values to provide a high-stability replacement for thermocouples in electric vehicle batteries and off-grid energy storage. Ametherm’s MM35-DIN Series NTC thermistors are designed to withstand high input energy of 1200 J and steady-state currents from 50 A to 80 A at 680 V. Offered in DIN-rail-mountable packages, these inrush current limiters are ideal for high-power industrial and green energy applications, including variable-frequency motor drives, wind turbines, large inverters, single- and three-phase motors, and transformers. The rugged MS35 Series NTC thermistors are optimized for high-power applications, such as wind turbines, solar power inverters, EV battery chargers, and electric vehicles. Featuring a diameter of 38 mm and thickness less than 10 mm, these thermistors do the same job as a power resistor and relay, but in a smaller, single-part alternative that saves valuable circuit board space.

The Battery Show is a leading global industry event that covers today’s emerging advanced battery technology for the automotive, portable electronics, medical technology, military and telecommunications, and utility and renewable energy support sectors.
