Today, we know so much about all aspects of the power grid, and, more importantly, we can access so much of this data in real time. With data on the condition of the grid, the operating ...

Utilities are being challenged worldwide by a common problem: they need more transmission and distribution capacity and they need it now. The demand for power continues to grow at unprecedented levels ...

A wide common mode input voltage range, from ground to within 2V of the supply voltage, ensures that the ZXCT1050 current monitor from Zetex Semiconductors will continue to provide accurate current ...

Almost every wall power supply has no indicator showing whether current is consumed by the load or not. Figure 1 Wall power supply indicator solution showing whether or not a current is being consumed ...

Telcom, LDMOS, automotive and many other applications require the measurement of current flow at high voltages (high-side current). Often, a circuit operating at 5 V must monitor currents at 48 V.

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments By implementing the current-monitoring approaches described in the article, designers can diagnose faults and take remedial action in advance of a failure. Efficiency ...
