What are fuses? High current fuse holders are designed to work in conjunctions with appropriately rated fuses. Fuses are safety devices used to limit the amount of current through an individual circuit branch, or to limit the amount of current delivered from a...

DC Current Shunts expansion. Riedon has expanded its line of DC Current Shunts to include current ratings up to 10,000 amps. The RS series of off-the-shelf, base-mounted and bus-bar shunts now offers current ratings from 5 A to 10,000 amps and a number of mounting...

Current Sense Resistors High current sensing is where a low ohmic precision resistor is used in series with the load. To determine the current one measures the voltage drop across the resistor. This is the same principal used by a shunt ammeter. The dilemma facing the...

Power supplies are a major application for current sensing resistors. Space-saving surface-mount designs are especially popular in small supplies, miniature DC-to-DC converters, small battery charging circuits, switching power supplies, and uninteruptible power...

The subject of power supplies is potentially very broad and the application of resistors in power supplies is quite diverse. Here we will focus on power supply units (PSUs) designed for use in electronic appliances that nominally require fixed DC outputs ranging from...
