Rogowski coils (see Sidebar and References 1 and 2 at end) perform passive current measurement and are used in test and measurement devices and power-monitoring activities. Calibration is required to ...

A nondestructive testing technology called eddy current array (ECA) is capable of driving numerous eddy current coils that are positioned next to one another in the same probe assembly. In the probe, ...

This Design Idea shows how to use a 63¢ (Q=1) microprocessor reset voltage detector IC in a relay coil drive circuit to greatly reduce the coil’s hold-in current. When asked to estimate the coil ...

The MAX4172 substitutes itself as a current amplifier for the shunt normally associated with a moving coil meter. The moving coil meter can be used even when the meter current is a fraction of the ...
