The CurrentWatch line of current sensors and switches measures ac currents to 2,000 A and dc currents to 300 A. More than 120 different styles include ac and dc-current sensing, solid-core and ...

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation has released CurrentWatch, a new family of current sensors and switches used to monitor current flowing in electrically powered equipment.

As power electronics switching techniques advance, there is an increased need to accurately measure current for feedback control and system monitoring. There are several methods to achieve this, and ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

The GFS series of ground fault sensors monitors all current-carrying conductors in grounded single and three-phase delta or wye systems. Available in fixed-core models, the GFS series features ...

There are two sensor choices, reed and Hall-effect switches. They have many similarities but also significant differences, explains Martin Reizner. Demand for reed switches has risen significantly in ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...
