High Voltage – Isolated – CAN

The isolated high-voltage sensor developed by GOcontroll enables accurate monitoring of battery packs and fuel cell systems across a wide range of applications. Designed with a fully isolated measurement interface, it ensures safe and reliable voltage acquisition even in demanding environments. Measured values are transmitted via CAN, allowing seamless integration into control systems and diagnostics platforms. To fit different system architectures, the sensor is available in three variants, each tailored to a specific voltage range.
