Voltage sag is a temporary drop in RMS voltage levels in electrical systems, usually caused by faults, motor startups, or ...

On infrequent occasions, I am asked to design a circuit to measure the RMS value of a current or voltage for some kind of power measurement. Since the work I do is hardly unique, I thought some of you ...

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.

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 ...
