The prospective short-circuit current (PSCC) is the maximum current that can flow through a shorted electrical circuit. The PSCC value is needed for selecting devices like circuit breakers and fuses ...

These voltage-output, current-shunt monitors are commonly used for overcurrent protection, precision-current measurement for system optimization, or in closed-loop feedback circuits.

[Jim] shows how to measure the voltage and current in a circuit and then it is simply a matter of doing a little math, something modern scopes can do very easily.

While consuming less electricity than their older, less efficient counterparts, high-efficiency motors are much more likely to trip their respective circuit protectors when they start. Initial ...

Thanks to additional test lead sockets, we can e.g. test the circuit continuity or perform a diode test. The measurement of current with a clamp meter is very simple. The meter probe must be clamped ...

The voltage in Figure 4was measured at a zener-diode current of 2.8 mA. Figure 4 Measure the voltage across a zener diode with a digital multimeter. You can use the circuits in figures 2 and 3 to test ...

When taking measurements in ionization chambers and other radiation sensors, it's often essential to handle small currents. Here is a picoammeter design.
