As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

[DainBramage] needed a DC ammeter to check how long his amateur radio station would be able to stay powered on battery backup power. The one’s he already had on hand were a Clamp Meter, which could ...

R&D engineers have traditionally found it a challenge to measure dc inrush current and current during dc voltage transients because these measurements require complex setups with multiple pieces of ...

The measurement of current with a clamp meter is very simple. The meter probe must be clamped around the wire of the tested circuit and the knob must be set appropriately, depending on the current ...

Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

Monitoring the current taken by a mains-powered appliance can be a challenge, particularly if the application demands an inexpensive solution that must provide galvanic isolation for user safety.

A common data logging application is measuring voltage or current flowing into or out of a piece of equipment, such as a user monitoring current in solar cells, inverters, or storage batteries. These ...

Current measurements are not as handy as voltage measurements. You typically need to either measure the voltage across something and do some math or break the circuit so a known resistor in your ...
