The first time I was in school for electrical engineering (long story), I had a professor who had never worked in the industry. I was in her class and the topic of the day was measuring AC waveforms.
Single-phase transducers in the MVTR and MCTR series fromOhio Semitronics measure voltage and current in applications requiring a trueRMS calculation of the transducer input. Intended for use in ...
A few months ago a personal computer trade magazine reviewed surge voltage protective power strips for home use. The article offered an explanation of what “120 volts RMS” power (what we typically ...

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...
Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...
