The monitoring of current and power is more important than ever. Industrial automation, instrumentation, solar power conversion, battery monitoring, and medical measurement systems measure and log ...

Question: How do you measure inductor current? Answer: Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors to temporarily store energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it’s often useful to ...

Today's SoCs (system on chip) have many modes of operation. Subsystems are shut down when not in use. When the entire SoC is in a “sleep” mode, many subsystems may be shut down or run on minimal power ...

A decent current measurement sensor ought to be an essential part of every hacker’s workbench. One that is capable of measuring DC, as well as low and high frequencies with reasonable accuracy. And ...

Monitoring the current taken by a mains-powered appliance can be a challenge, particularly if the application demands an inexpensive solution that must provide galvanic isolation for user safety.

A new range of automotive-qualified current sensors is addressing the growing need for accurate, isolated current measurement ...

Measurement triangle: this quantum metrology triangle shows the relations between the three electrical units volt, ohm and ampere and the involved fundamental constants. Researchers at PTB are ...

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

Leakage current is one of the most stringent, yet telling, parameters of possible danger to patients or caregivers. It does not take much electric current flowing through the human body to cause harm.
