It’s no surprise that many hardware hackers avoid working with AC, and frankly, we can’t blame them. The potential consequences of making a mistake when working with mains voltages are far greater ...

With a primary-current rating of 10A and an isolation voltage of 500 Vdc, the 5600 series current-sensing transformers are capable of both measuring and monitoring ac currents. They are available in ...

Keysight, Teledyne LeCroy, Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz (R&S), and others have offered built-in digital oscilloscope Bode analysis for some time, and this feature has trickled down to low-cost DSOs like ...

Designing a closed-loop, controlled power supply or motor-control system presents two main challenges. First, the design requires sending feedback voltage or current information across an isolation ...
