To sense high dc currents, designers typically use shunt resistors or Hall-Effect-based current sensors. But shunt resistors are plagued by Joule (I2R) losses and the need to open the circuit where ...

To help in those situations, designers at Hyde Park Electronics, Dayton, Ohio (hpsensors.com), developed Python Power, an ac-to-dc converter. It consists of a universal, in-line ac/dc power supply and ...

Pennsauken, N.J.—Macro Sensors is offering a metric version of its 24V DC-LVDT position sensors. Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the HSE/HSER 750 Series of 19.0 mm diameter DC-operated LVDTs ...

As manufacturers seek to simultaneously reduce cost and increase rate for composite parts production, the ability to see inside molding processes in real time and monitor resin flow, viscosity, ...

The full line of 2-wire DC sensors now incorporates Uprox+ technology and quick-disconnect capabilities, making it the first of its kind to include Factor 1 technology, says the vendor. With sensing ...

AC dielectric cure monitoring, also referred to as Dielectric Analysis (DEA), measures a polymer’s capacitance and resistance, which are bulk properties utilized in the conventional electrical model ...

Understanding power meter and sensor key specifications is vital for selecting the right equipment for power measurements. An often overlooked area is the DC or AC coupling characteristic of the power ...

The M12 eurofast AC/DC junction box contains an integrated DC power supply that allows the use of DC sensors in AC applications. This 4-port junction box simulates a 2-wire AC sensor, providing a cost ...
