Open loop current transducers feature 10MHz clock frequency
At this year's PCIM show, LEM has announced the completion of its digital output versions of HO and HLSR open-loop hall effect current transducers with analogue to digital (A/D) conversion performed by an on-board sigma-delta modulator, giving a 1-bit serial bitstream output.
Making the voltage measurement more compact
The new DVC 1000-P model for insulated nominal voltage measurements in traction and industrial applications has been announced by LEM. This device measures a nominal voltage of 1000 VRMS and incorporates isolating amplifier technology. Despite achieving very high levels of isolation with a safety insulation voltage of 4.2kV, the DVC 1000-P transducer is really compact, measuring only 37x43x23.5mm and can be mounted on printed board for a total vo...
Fluxgate-based current sensors for high accuracy measurement
LEM has expanded its range of high accuracy transducers with the new IN 1000-S for non-intrusive and isolated measurement of DC, AC and pulsed nominal current of 1000 A. LEM already launched a 2000 A model last year as first model of this range reinventing the fluxgate technology.
Robust three-point PCB sockets announced
High-reliability connector supplier Harwin has announced further additions to its Sycamore Contact product offering. While this series was initially capable of accommodating one and 1.5mm diameter contact pins, it now covers pin sizes from 0.80 to 1.90mm.
The top ten development boards of 2018
Every year Arrow Electronics release a list of the top ten dev boards on the market today. To help make 2018 your most innovative year yet, here are the top ten development boards and kits of 2018.
3-point PCB socket series covers pin sizes from 0.80 to 1.90mm
Harwin has announced further additions to its Sycamore Contact product offering. While this series was initially capable of accommodating 1mm and 1.5mm diameter contact pins, it now covers pin sizes from 0.80 to 1.90mm.There are a wide variety of scenarios where electronic devices/modules will require replacement over time (such as depleted gas sensors or worn-out energy harvesting transducers).
Sigma-delta modulator eval kits aid industrial and automotive designs
To speed up current or voltage sensing design and evaluation, Broadcom has developed sigma-delta modulator evaluation kits for industrial and automotive applications.
Range of transducer’s dedicated to leakage current in PV inverters
The LDSR model from LEM announced at PCIM 2018, is a low cost and lightweight (25g) component, with a reduced footprint. The LDSR is dedicated to measuring the leakage current of 300mA nominal up to 900mA peak at 2KHz frequency.
When comparing flowmeters its: Coriolis vs Surface Acoustic Wave
An essential requirement for the control of many manufacturing processes is the flow measurement of liquids, because accurate control improves efficiency and guarantees quality.Whilst there are a number of different technologies available, when high accuracy is the requirement the Coriolis flowmeter has so far been the default choice. However, the development of Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology for use in flowmeters has presented a challeng...
Water flow measurement improved with ultrasonic flow sensors
The accurate measurement of water flow in domestic metering or industrial applications can be affected by variations in ultrasonic sensing parameters over temperature. An improved 2MHz ultrasonic flow sensor (09265-001) developed by CeramTec delivers stable, consistent measurements by reducing zero flow offset to improve the accuracy of ultrasonic meters for utilities measurement from 0°C to 130°C.
