Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

Fluxgate current sensors have emerged as a robust technology for the measurement of both alternating and direct currents, harnessing the non-linear magnetic characteristics of ferromagnetic materials.

Current sensing has long been an important function implemented by battery management systems (BMS), modules which monitor and protect high-capacity batteries. In both lithium-ion and sealed lead-acid ...

This application note provides techniques and background information about how a low cost, contact less current sensor can be built with the MLX91206. The sensor has no upper limit to the level of ...

THERE is no better way to ruin a perfectly good day than to make a mistake in the use of your air monitoring instrumentation. Industrial hygienists; military, industrial and public-sector hazmat teams ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

Allegro MicroSystems had introduced 1MHz bandwidth current sensors that can measure hundreds of amps – the first fruit of its acquisition of Crocus Technologies. The technology is tunneling ...
