In order to measure the RMS value of an alternating voltage an accurate converter is required to produce the true RMS value of its alternating input as a DC output. With simple sinewave inputs the RMS ...

If you measure a DC voltage, and want to get some idea of how “big” it is over time, it’s pretty easy: just take a number of measurements and take the average. If you’re interested in the average ...

Single-phase transducers in the MVTR and MCTR series fromOhio Semitronics measure voltage and current in applications requiring a trueRMS calculation of the transducer input. Intended for use in ...

The first time I was in school for electrical engineering (long story), I had a professor who had never worked in the industry. I was in her class and the topic of the day was measuring AC waveforms.

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

So I'm finalising a set-up for my new build & I'd really like to get it right this time. I have an amplifier rated at RMS 330 watts (Max 600) x 1 channel at 4Ohms (from Sony) > The Amplifier will ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...
