A power sensor is a device designed to measure electrical power.
A power sensor measures both current and voltage, calculating their product to determine electrical power. Two main types of power sensors are the thermal response type and the diode detection type.
These sensors are applied in diverse areas, such as power meters for measuring consumption in households and factories, wireless devices for assessing transmission output and receiver sensitivity, and industrial machinery for gauging motor output and power converter efficiency. Power sensors vary in characteristics like measurable range, accuracy, frequency bandwidth, and environmental durability. Choosing the right power sensor is essential, considering the specific application and its requirements.
