However, a saturable-reactor-based (or magnetic-amplifier-based) current sensor can overcome these limitations. Consequently, it's an attractive solution for low-cost, high-efficiency dc 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 advent of the Hall-effect sensor has provided us ...
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 ...
and taking feedback from a current sensor. The controller in question is a 4QD Porter 10 so an extra component is a DC-to-DC converter to provide a floating ground for the Arduino. However ...
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 ...
With the production of high quality PV modules in mind, Wago Corp. has introduced a series of feedthrough current sensors that can continuously measure dc currents to optimize photovoltaic (PV) energy ...
This MCU-based circuit converts sensor outputs, which are often voltage, into a standard current signal, thus avoiding noise and loss when sending over long lines. When taking measurements from ...
IEC standards and more specifically IEC 62955 / IEC 62752, require the detection of a Direct Leakage current at 6 mA DC to avoid the home Residual Current ... charger manufacturers can test the ...
