[Emc-users] Current Sensors

These look pretty handy: http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1187 I'm thinking about ways to add load sensing for drives that don't have this feature yet. Also, I wonder if they are fast enough for PWM signal control? Digikey has some other models of these sensors but it seems for my purposes,

I really prefer sensors made by these guys: http://www.lem.com These are the sensors used in a number of VVF drives used in high reliability applications. N.C. On 2012-Mar-18, at 13:00, Kirk Wallace wrote: > These look pretty handy: > http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1187 > > I'm think
