Current-Sense Transformer Application Design Guidelines
"The standard for precise current measurement in instrumentation and other high reliability equipment applications has been the current sense transformer. They are accurate, easy to implement, and reliable under harsh environmental and thermal conditions. In electronic systems applications such as switch-mode power supplies, current transformers are generally used for control, circuit-protection, and monitoring features. With the increasing availability of OTS (Off-The-Shelf) current transformers, a simple guideline can greatly help in the selection of proper and cost-effective components for many applications."

Burglars and BBs...
You are standing 100 m from a 20 m tall building. On the roof of the building you see a burglar. Trying to be a good citizen, you point your BB gun at him. At the moment you pull the trigger, he falls to the ground. Your BB gun shoots at a speed of 60 m/s. Did you hit him?
Read the answer and see what others had to say in CR4.
New Challenge:
You are working on a factory dock when a pallet loaded with large injection-molded plastic parts is delivered. You are amazed at the wall thickness of the parts, almost ¾ in. thick at some points. As each part measures almost 4 ft. long, you expect it to weigh quite a bit but are surprised that it is relatively light. You also discover the surface has a swirling pattern in it. How were these parts made?
