As power systems handle larger loads, a new current measurement approach aims to support testing, monitoring, and performance ...

The better the analog front-end for measuring battery current, the more accurately you'll be able to gauge the remaining run-time for your battery-backup system. Here's a discrete front-end design ...

Which is the best current sensor for your power measuring application? Solid-core current sensing technology provides good performance at low cost. But split-core sensors are making strong progress ...

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.

While consuming less electricity than their older, less efficient counterparts, high-efficiency motors are much more likely to trip their respective circuit protectors when they start. Initial ...

When managing high-current subsystems within EVs and HEVs, shunts offer several structural advantages over magnetic-based Hall effect sensors: Linear Response: Shunts use a direct, ohmic measurement ...

What causes the degradation of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in power-supply designs? What is ripple current and how can it influence capacitors in power-conversion circuits? Step-by-step ...
