As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

[DainBramage] needed a DC ammeter to check how long his amateur radio station would be able to stay powered on battery backup power. The one’s he already had on hand were a Clamp Meter, which could ...

Fig. 1. A typical method of measuring dc inrush involves using either a current probe (a) or a shunt (b). The relay connected to the power supply can be omitted if the rise time of the power supply is ...

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.

Fluxgate current sensors have emerged as a robust technology for the measurement of both alternating and direct currents, harnessing the non-linear magnetic characteristics of ferromagnetic materials.

A common data logging application is measuring voltage or current flowing into or out of a piece of equipment, such as a user monitoring current in solar cells, inverters, or storage batteries. These ...
