Measuring short circuit current (Shoot-through Current)

Hagar Hendy

Hello, 

  The short circuit current  is negative, as shown below, so should we consider it negative, specifically when calculating power, as  negative power means supplied power and not dissipating, or we have to ignore sign?

  • Given that we have no idea what you're actually measuring here, and current is not the same as power (it's perfectly reasonable that currents can be positive or negative), and we don't know how you're computing the power (if it was I2R then it will end up positive anyway), this is not something that can really be answered.
