Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. High-voltage systems including electric vehicles, industrial robots, communications infrastructure equipment, and renewable-energy installations often ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Development kits from Melexis come with a variety of Hall-effect current sensors for testing different magnetic configurations. One kit allows engineers to experiment with arrangements that employ ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...
