This application note discusses the DC and transient current capability and fuse characteristics of surface mount current sensor integrated circuits. It covers the testing performed and limitation of ...

Featuring DC to 5-MHz bandwidth, Allegro MicroSystems' galvanically isolated, high-accuracy magnetic current-sensor IC with zero current reference (ACS37030), and overcurrent fault with internal pull ...

The Allegro ACS713 provides economical and precise solutions for DC current sensing in industrial, commercial, and communications systems. The device package allows for easy implementation by the ...

To sense high dc currents, designers typically use shunt resistors or Hall-Effect-based current sensors. But shunt resistors are plagued by Joule (I2R) losses and the need to open the circuit where ...

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.

There’s many different ways of measuring current. If it’s DC, the easiest way is to use a shunt resistor and measure the voltage across it, and for AC you could use a current transformer. But the ...

A sensor that I somehow missed, despite it being a popular building block in module form is the WCS1800 current sensor from Winson of Taiwan. It is part of a large family of current sensors from the ...

ABB has launched its latest generation Fiber Optic Current Sensor (FOCS-FS) to complement its portfolio of optical sensors. The FOCS-FS gets its name from its ‘free standing’ design. A salient feature ...

• Hall-effect sensors used to control dc-electric motors can detect motor rotation direction, and rpm. • Improper inflation of aircraft tires drastically shortens tire life span, leading to premature ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...
