Current Transformer Power Meter Example
A slightly more expensive option is to use a current transformer (CT) to connect the AC current to the
CDB5480U evaluation board. Figure 7 depicts the voltage and current connections for a CT sensor and
its associated filter configurations.
NEVER “open circuit” a CT.
Make sure that all signals are well connected before the power source is
turned on. Extreme care should be taken when connecting high-voltage signals to the CDB5480U
evaluation board.
The burden resistor (R11/R22) is necessary in a CT application to convert the secondary current into
voltage. Knowledge of the current transformers turns ratio (N) is key to determining the proper CS5480
input voltage (V
burden
) that the meter places on the system. The optimum secondary voltage (V
burden
) at
the maximum current input should be 10% less than the maximum channel voltage of 250mVp with I-
channel PGA = 10x. The secondary voltage (V
burden
) is determined by converting the primary current to
the secondary current. Then the secondary current (I
burden
) can be converted into a voltage by Ohm's
Law.
The secondary voltage (V
burden
) is sourced to the CS5480 through a simple low-pass, anti-alias filter, and
this voltage should not exceed the 250mVp.
