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 ...

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 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.

Sentinel voltage dataloggers record true RMS measurements of ac voltage parameters, providing isolated differential three-phase inputs and measuring up to 600 V. The loggers can store up to 480,000 ...

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 ...

It seems that no matter how many times our experts address the topic of triplen, there's always another facet of this disruptive harmonic current to be discussed. This month, Editorial Director John ...
