UK designed quick-fit system adds smart monitoring to grid sub-stations

UK design house 42 Technology has developed a quickly-installed smart current monitor for the UK power grid. Branded FuseOhm, is self-powered data-logger that offers real-time measurement and recording of current (1A – 1,000A), voltage, phase angle and local temperature. Power dissipation is <6W. Sensing is resistive, and based on the firm’s existing ‘Triple Ohm’ intellectual ...

ADI integrates AFE, LEDs and a photodiode.

The ADPD188BI is an integrated optical module featuring two LEDs, photodiode, and analog front-end (AFE) integrated together in a single package. The AFE offers high ambient light rejection and reduces power consumption to support longer battery life. The two LEDs help reduce false alarms often caused by steam and dust. False alarms are a leading ...
