On infrequent occasions, I am asked to design a circuit to measure the RMS value of a current or voltage for some kind of power measurement. Since the work I do is hardly unique, I thought some of you ...
How many times have you poked around a circuit with a digital multimeter (DMM), read an AC voltage value, then gone on your merry way? Ever wonder if your meter is giving you peak value, average value ...
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 ...
