As power electronics switching techniques advance, there is an increased need to accurately measure current for feedback control and system monitoring. There are several methods to achieve this, and ...

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation has released CurrentWatch, a new family of current sensors and switches used to monitor current flowing in electrically powered equipment.

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

Allegro MicroSystems today announced three ICs: two analogue current sensors and a motor driver for fans. The first current sensor, ACS37630, is designed to be sat on top of a bus bar and partly ...

There are two sensor choices, reed and Hall-effect switches. They have many similarities but also significant differences, explains Martin Reizner. Demand for reed switches has risen significantly in ...

The GFS series of ground fault sensors monitors all current-carrying conductors in grounded single and three-phase delta or wye systems. Available in fixed-core models, the GFS series features ...

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 ...
