    LEM HC5FW 500-S HC5FW Automotive Current Sensor


    500A Rated Current x ±500A Measuring Range — High-Compactness Open-Loop Sensor for Automotive Motor Control

     

    LEM HC5FW 500-S Product Overview

    The HC5FW 500-S is an open-loop Hall effect current transducer from LEM's HC5FW series, designed for the electronic measurement of DC, AC, and pulsed currents with galvanic isolation between the primary and secondary circuits . This PCB-mount sensor is specifically engineered for mid to high-power automotive applications, featuring a compact design that accommodates rectangular or circular busbars passing directly through the sensor aperture . The HC5FW family uses a proprietary ASIC developed by LEM combined with a precisely assembled and calibrated magnetic core to ensure outstanding performance and reliability in demanding automotive environments .

    Rated for 500 A nominal with a ±500 A measuring range, it outputs a fully ratiometric analog voltage of 2.5 V ± 2 V (instantaneous) with 2% accuracy and ±1% linearity . Sensitivity is 4 mV/A . Response time is 6 µs and bandwidth is 40 kHz . Supply voltage is 5 V (4.75 to 5.25 V) . Operating temperature is -40°C to +125°C . Insulation test voltage is 2.5 kV with creepage distance of 3.6 mm and clearance of 2.7 mm .

    LEM HC5FW 500-S Key Advantages

    The HC5FW 500-S employs open-loop Hall effect technology with a proprietary ASIC, delivering 2% accuracy and ±1% linearity while maintaining excellent performance across a wide temperature range . The ±500 A range provides ample headroom for measuring nominal currents up to 500 A with transient overcurrent capability, while the 6 µs response time and 40 kHz bandwidth capture fast-changing motor drive and switching waveforms with high fidelity . The PCB-mount design with through-hole terminals enables direct integration onto gate driver boards, and the aperture accommodates both rectangular and round busbars, providing flexibility in system design . The 2.5 kV insulation and 125°C operating temperature ensure robust safety and reliability in demanding automotive environments .

     

    LEM HC5FW 500-S Typical Applications

    xEV traction inverters
    DC link current measurement
    Phase current measurement in motor drives
    Electrical Power Steering (EPS)
    Starter generators
    DC/DC converters

     

    Why Choose the LEM HC5FW 500-S?

    The HC5FW 500-S combines a 500 A nominal rating with a 2% accuracy in a compact, PCB-mount package optimized for automotive xEV applications . Manufactured by LEM, it delivers stable, accurate, and safe current measurement for demanding motor control systems. The open-loop Hall effect design offers good accuracy, excellent linearity, low thermal offset drift, and high immunity to external interference, making it a reliable choice for critical automotive systems where measurement integrity and space constraints are paramount .
