Growing concerns about energy efficiency have led to the development of electronics with higher power density. In grid-connected and industrial applications, such as AC motor control, uninterruptible ...

Thousands of applications require a circuit to measure a small current. One of the most common is the measurement of photodiode current to infer the light impinging on the diode. Scientific ...

A company named LEM introduces its Model LK60 clamp-on leakage-current meter for non-invasive checks of insulation resistance. Leakage current measurement can be used to assess the state of electrical ...

Some of the most challenging leakage-current-testing requirements are those for patient-monitoring devices—both invasive and noninvasive. Such testing can be time-consuming and expensive, so it is ...

Leakage current is one of the most stringent, yet telling, parameters of possible danger to patients or caregivers. It does not take much electric current flowing through the human body to cause harm.

Key considerations for using a low current source include the maxi­mum current, minimum current, and step resolution; the output settling time required; and the level of voltage compliance needed. It ...
