AI Thread Summary
The phase current sensing circuit converts phase currents to voltages using a shunt resistor and an opamp. An analysis of the filter circuit formed by R45, R37, and C26 indicates that it operates effectively without significant phase delay, as the time constant is small compared to other components. The capacitor C26 primarily serves to filter out RF noise rather than introducing delay. The gain of the shunt amplifier is determined by a 2k input resistance and a 30k output resistance, resulting in a gain of 15. Overall, the circuit design effectively manages phase current sensing while minimizing unwanted interference.

Phase current sensing and the phase delay
This is the phase current sensing circuit

Here the phase currents are converted to voltages by passing through shunt resistor and fed to the opamp. Two questions i have
a. Can I analyze the R45, R37, C26 as one filter circuit and the remaining as other circuit for gain?
b. The phase currents are converted into voltages after passing through shunt resistor and are available at the output of the opamp. Does the capacitor C26 add any phase delay?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
R45, R37, C26 has a product of about 100 ns, so it will only remove RF.

Not really. The TC is small compared to R55 * C32 = 1 us, which is probably an antialiasing filter before an A to D converter.

The gain of the shunt amplifier is set by series 1k + 1k = 2k input, to 30k output, gain = x15.

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
