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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

The phrase power factor frequently is used in the electrical and power electronics industry. For example, home, office, and industrial electrical equipment often is fitted with power factor-corrected ...
