The power level of 10.5kW in the last post is wrong, it's actually much higher.
It's being clipped by the Maximum ADC input voltage of the ARM7. I built this 9" touch screen Solar monitor and coded it years ago. Just checking the circuit and code, there is a resistive divider on the input to keep the 500A Sensor voltage in range, it clamps the ADC input keeping the current to a very low value on overload and clamped at around 3.2V.
I need to modify that ADC input circuit and Code (resistive multiplier value) to read to at least 500A @ 3.2V in order to display the correct switching DC currents to match commercial Current Clamp meters, the down side is this makes very low current readings [< 8A] slightly inaccurate. |
