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 ...
This sensor device is built to measure the amount of current being used, especially in power supplies as the design is based on Arduino. The main component used is the ACS712 sensor from Allegro ...
Pulse Electronics Corp. has unveiled a 50 Hz/60 Hz, di/dt AC current sensor that can be clamped onto an existing solid conductor without having to disconnect the conductor. The PA3828NL clamp-on ...
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 ...
