Post by thread:Re: AC POWER Measurement

Hi Luis, I think what you are looking for has been published in a UK magazine called Everyday Practical Electronics which features a lot of PIC designs. They published a full article including PCB layouts and also you can send for a disc of the software as well as buy the blank boards for a few UKP. It works out the power consumed and will even tell you the cost of it. There was some postings to the list from me and one or two others regarding this around April this year. I've not got them anymore but have a look around in the Piclist Archive. The magazine articles you need are in February and March 1996 issues. PS Please dont be tempted by non isolated designs - you only got one life - at least for now! Regards Bob Minchin E-mail - spam_OUTbob.minchinTakeThisOuTroke.uk

However, if you are designing products for quantity production and cost counts, there are ways to design non-isolated products, and you may as well know that there are millions of them out there. For that matter, a transformer is only as good as its insulation. -- Paul Mathews, consulting engineer AEngineering Co. .....optoengKILLspam@spam@whidbey.com non-contact sensing and optoelectronics specialists
