LEM Applications: Elevator

The controller moves the motor in the right direction and lets it stop exactly at the right position to the floor ground, independent of the weight in the elevator car. The current transducers take care that the motor is powered with the correct current.

Elevator doors are controlled by a control unit that integrates the motors of the sliding doors. The current transducer measures the current in the motors to run the panels smoothly and to discover if something (e.g., a finger, a leg) obstructs the doors.

LEM Applications: Start-Stop System for Cars

The current sensors (HAB, CAB) allow the battery management system to decide if enough energy is available in the battery to operate the accessories (such as air-conditioning, headlights, and radio) while the engine is off, and still have ample charge left to restart the engine.

The “power-control unit” will instruct the “starter generator” to restart the engine or recharge the battery, as needed, and current sensors (HC5, HAH3) used in the converters and inverter modules allow it to operate smoothly, improving the driver experience while helping the environment.
