Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...

The best place to measure current consumption is in the main power feed. The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary ...

Recently, [Solder Hub] put together a brief video that demonstrates the basics of a Hall Effect sensor — in this case, one salvaged from an old CPU fan. Two LEDs, a 100 ohm resistor, and a 3.7 volt ...

Effective water management involves supplying water according to the real requirement, and thus measuring water is very essential step in water management systems. There are many water flow ...

This post is a quick writeup about Winson WCS Series Hall Effect Linear Current Sensors! I have the Winson WCS2702 current sensor in my hand right now, so I will write about it here. According to the ...

There are two sensor choices, reed and Hall-effect switches. They have many similarities but also significant differences, explains Martin Reizner. Demand for reed switches has risen significantly in ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. High-voltage systems including electric vehicles, industrial robots, communications infrastructure equipment, and renewable-energy installations often ...

The difference between Hall-effect sensors and Hall elements. Why Hall-effect sensors provide more than on and off information. How Hall-effect sensors can detect magnetic fields from an extended ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by ...
