Many research and productionapplications require low-level voltage measurements to characterize materialsand devices. When signal voltages approach the microvolt ...

High-capacity, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) have a property often not well understood by electronic designers: the capacitance of these devices varies with applied DC voltage. This phenomenon ...

Common traits of digital multimeters (DMMs). Classifying DMMs by their amount of digits. What role do digitizers play in making voltage measurements? Measuring voltage may be the most basic ...

I work a lot with high voltages and others frequently replicate my projects, so I often get asked “What voltage is needed?”. That means I need to be able to measure high voltages. Here’s how I do it ...

The new Fluke 377 FC and 378 FC Non-Contact Voltage True-rms AC/DC Clamp Meters can measure voltage and current simultaneously without touching a live wire EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Any time an ...

A three-point-delta method provides more accurate resistance measurements in low-voltage applications. Electronic components are continuing to shrink as consumers demand faster, more feature-rich ...

We think it’s a great learning experience to tear back the veil of abstraction and learn a bit more about the hardware found on an Arduino board. This project is a great example. [Scott Daniels] takes ...

Allegro MicroSystems has integrated power, voltage and current monitoring into a single chip with reinforced isolation. Only a handful of resistors are needed to complete the high-voltage interface ...

A farmer is watering an alfalfa field 24 hours a day using a 3-phase 100-hp electric motor and adjustable speed drive (ASD). The farmer checks on his field to find the water not flowing and the pump ...
