Designers often use a current shunt to measure low current being sourced out of their power supply since many of today’s power supplies do not offer adequate accuracy from their built-in measurement ...

The world has turned to renewable energy in an attempt to wean itself from depleting carbon-based sources. The increase in the number of solar, wind, wave, and tidal power sources has pushed the need ...

The proliferation of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) has created a new dynamic in automotive designs. HEVs and EVs no longer operate off a traditional 12-V lead-acid ...

Current. Too little of it, and you can’t get where you’re going, too much and your hardware’s on fire. In many projects, it’s desirable to know just how much current is being drawn, and even more ...

The fundamentals to translating the analog world into the digital domain reduces to a handful of basic parameters. Voltage, current, and frequency are electrical parameters that describe most of the ...

[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 ...

Riedon has expanded its portfolio of precision current shunts and is now able to provide one of the industry’s broadest ranges of current ratings. Additions have been made to the company’s RCS, RSH, ...

Texas Instruments is planning a pair of precision current monitors that can measure ±50A over -4 to 110V. They are the standard INA791B (right) and the PWM residue rejecting INA790B (below).

Riedon, a specialist manufacturer of power and precision resistors, has announced what it says is the “industry’s first” e-commerce site dedicated to the rapid sourcing of current sense shunt and fuse ...
