Current Sensing

Current sensing is a process used to measure the amount of electrical current flowing through a circuit. It is used to monitor the current draw of a device or system, and is often used to detect problems such as overloads or shorts. Current sensing can be done with a variety of devices, such as resistors, transistors, and current transformers. In some cases, a current sensing device can be used to measure the amount of current flowing through a wire or cable, allowing for the detection of faults in the wiring. Current sensing can also be used to measure the amount of current being drawn by a device, such as a motor or a light bulb. This can be used to determine the efficiency of the device, and can help to identify any problems that may be present. Current sensing is an important tool for electrical engineers, as it can help to ensure that a device or system is operating safely and efficiently.
