Hall effect and shunt-based systems are two approaches to current sensing used by li-ion battery management systems found in today's electric vehicles (EVs). Following is an evaluation of the pros and cons of each. A battery in an EV or hybrid EV (HEV) must supply 100 kW of power or greater in response to driver demand.
The Hall voltage indicates the DC magnetic flux, leading to a measurement of the DC current in the conductor. Commercially available devices typically include amplifiers to boost the small Hall voltage to a usable level. Figure 2 shows a typical EV or HEV arrangement where the shunt is placed in the battery return path.
Figure 1 shows a typical EV arrangement where the shunt is placed in the battery return path. The shunt resistor is typically part of a module that also includes a battery management integrated circuit to measure the voltage across the shunt and communicates with the vehicle network over the industry-standard CAN bus.
A shunt-based current sensing design determines the current (I) by measuring the voltage (V) generated as I flows through a shunt resistor (R) placed in the battery line, as expressed by Ohm’s law: V = I x R Figure 1: Shunt current measurement. Source: Isabellenhütte
Current Rating: The shunt resistor must be able to handle the maximum current it is expected to measure. Resistance Value: The resistance value affects the voltage drop, which in turn influences the measurement accuracy. A lower resistance results in a smaller voltage drop and less power dissipation, but may compromise accuracy.
High-side shunt resistors are connected at the supply side, providing a more accurate current measurement, especially in systems with variable common-mode voltage. Four-terminal shunt resistors, also known as Kelvin resistors, are designed to reduce the impact of contact resistance, offering highly precise current measurement.
