Current shunt resistors up to 10kA

Riedon of California has announced current-sensing shunt resistors from 1A to 10kA. The RCS, RSH, RSI, RSJ, RSL, and RSN series of precision shunt resistors have four-point Kelvin connections and go as low as 5μΩ for the 10,000A 50mV RSL-10000-50. Copper-nickel-manganese Manganin alloy is used for temperature stabuility, and standard tolerance is 0.25%, with some series offering ...

40A current sense transformers to AEC-Q200

Coilcraft’s has introduced a series of current sense transformers, operating up to 40A over 400Hz to 1MHz, and offering 4,000Vrms isolation voltage between the sense and output windings, using insulation reinforced to UL 60950-1. To minimise power loss, the resistance of the sense coil is very low: 840μΩ in all versions of the series, dubbed CST2020. ...

Flexible graphene THz detector

THz radiation can be detected by graphene FETs fabricated on a flexible polymer substrate, according to Chalmers University in Sweden. At room temperature, it detects signals from 330 to 500GHz. According to “A flexible graphene terahertz detector” in Applied Physics Letters, estimated noise equivalent power in the antenna-coupled graphene FETs at room temperature is below 3nW/√Hz at ...
