Why Fiber Optics Now? • Electric vehicles are going to 1000V+, 700A+ for cars and 2400V+, 1000A+ for trucks • Traditional thermocouples are too slow and significant limitation above 200V • Thermocouple output is in millivolts and gets affected by Electric and Magnetic fields • Safety Risk from Thermocouples: Risk of short circuit at higher voltages, Corrosion etc. • Thermocouples are Non-Linear: Sensors are non-linear, require complex compensation • Thermocouples are large: not suitable to fit into tiny spaces on PCBs, Power Electronics, Charging Points • Slower Response: Thermocouples are not fast enough for accurate thermal profiling • Variation from Batch to Batch: Impact accuracy and repeatability of testing • Susceptible to High Voltage and Magnetic Fields • Thermocouples are not suitable for Explosive Environments • Thermocouples are not suitable with longer signal cables
