Current sensors measure AC and/or DC current levels. The sensors in this selection guide measure current and provide some sort of output that corresponds to the current being measured. The most ...

To replace the broken screen, [Pierre] turned to some 128×64 pixel VFD displays that he had left over from an earlier project. Their resolution was exactly the same as the Garmin’s original ...

The figure shows the placement of an Infinity sensor in the power loop of a kW GaN bridge leg. For reference, this sensor measures 10×3×1mm (L/W/H). The current return path of the bridge leg lies on ...

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 ...

Eddy current proximity sensors and switches detect the proximity or presence of a target by sensing fluctuations in a magnetic field generated by a reference coil. The variations in this field are due ...

Keeping up with the terminology surrounding the usage of variable frequency drives can be daunting. Maybe if there were one place where you could look up definitions of these ever-increasing terms, it ...

Investopedia / Candra Huff A current account surplus occurs when a country's credits exceed its debits. A current account surplus is a positive current account balance, indicating that a nation is ...

Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things. In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but ...

The role of chancellor at the University of Oxford has been around for 800 years. This year, a particularly broad range of people have applied. By Mark Landler Before Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks ...

Have you been paying attention to current events recently? See how many of these 10 questions you can get right. A year into this devastating war, what are you feeling and thinking? How have your ...
