The demand to increase energy efficiency in electrical products is driving the development of more accurate measurement instruments. Modern instruments now can quantify incremental gains made as ...

In this interview, industry expert Jason Chonko shares practical strategies for overcoming common challenges in high-resistance and low-signal electrical measurements by addressing noise, grounding, ...

Standby power refers to the electric power consumed by electronic appliances while they are switched off or in a standby mode – but still connected and still drawing power. Fundamentally, standby ...

In Part 1 of the Electronics for Kids series, we looked at LEDs; in Part 2, we explored capacitors. Now in Part 3, we will take an in-depth look at electrical measurements. It is impossible to discuss ...

In recent years, power semiconductor applications have expanded from industrial and consumer electronics to renewable energy and electric vehicles. Looking to the future, the most promising power ...

Insulation resistance testers, often called megohmmeters, are fundamental tools for preventive maintenance, used to assess the integrity of insulation in motors, cables, transformers, and other ...

Most of the Hackaday community would never wire a power supply to a circuit without knowing the expected voltage and the required current. But our mechanical design is often more bodged. We meet folks ...

A laser Doppler vibrometer’s (LDV) real-time capability enables measurement times roughly six orders of magnitude smaller compared to any method that is based on strobe techniques or provides a ...
