With WE-BMS, Würth Elektronik presents signal transformers for battery management systems which, due to their galvanic isolation of 4300 VDC/1 min and high operating voltage of up to 1000 VDC, are ideal for use in energy storage systems, E-bikes or E-scooters.
Besides the transformers, the new WE-BMS series components also include at least one common-mode choke to filter common-mode interference. Würth Elektronik's design offers far longer physical creepage than comparable products on the market yet is very compact. Low-profile component variants of 3.45 mm in height are also available.
battery management
The individual cells of a battery pack are connected in series, as are the downstream BMS controllers
As the product code WE-BMS spells out, the transformers are optimized for battery management systems. They are primarily used to ensure reliable operation and provide information about the charging status.

applications
Voltage differences and electromagnetic interference may occur between series-connected components or boards. The WE-BMS transformer serves to isolate components from each other and suppress EMI.
Applications include storage systems for solar installations or uninterrupted power supplies (UPS). As the WE-BMS series is AEC-Q200 qualified, it is also very well suited for E-mobility applications. WE-BMS supports serial daisy chains, isoSPI, and SPI.
