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.

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.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
