Sensors for Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Testing and Development

PCB® offers a wide selection of products for testing electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, to meet the engineering challenges of today and tomorrow.

Acoustics

Different types of power lead to distinct noise sources. PCB's line of microphones are ideally suited with the precision needed to make accurate measurements in electric and hybrid vehicles.

For example, PCB's model 378A04, the industry's first prepolarized low noise microphone and preamplifier system, allows you to measure extremely low amplitudes found during electric and hybrid vehicle testing.

Vibration

NVH issues related to the addition of new electrical devices, gear whine, and vehicle resonances increase the number of NVH areas to be tested compared to traditional vehicles.

Our accelerometers feature ground and case isolation making them ideal for use in strong electrical fields generated by electric and hybrid vehicles. Electrical isolation reduces noise in these fields and eliminates ground loops.

Safety Sensors

High-precision, DC responding Endevco piezoresistive accelerometers offer high-output, low mass designs, and compact size for mounting within difficult-to-reach areas. They are widely specified for vehicle safety testing in electric and hybrid vehicles.
