The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

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 ...

The ACS722 and ACS723 Hall-effect current sensor ICs from Allegro MicroSystems Europe are being offered in a new high-isolation SOIC16 package. It is a low-profile surface-mount package which provides ...

LEM has announced three-phase current sensors that fit silicon carbide power modules typically used in 800V vehicle traction inverters. “Developers of automotive traction inverters are increasingly ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...
