High Precision Digital AC Energy Meter Circuit

[sam.moshiri]

Dealing with the 220V-AC mains voltage and measuring the AC loads' true power, voltage, and current parameters are always considered a big challenge for electronic designers, both in circuit design and calculations. The situation gets more complex when we deal with the inductive loads because inductive loads alter the sine-wave shape of the AC signal (resistive loads don’t).

In this article/video, I introduced a circuit that can measure the AC voltage, RMS current, active power, apparent power, power factor, and energy consumption (KWh) of the loads. I used an Arduino-Nano board as a processor to make this more educational-friendly and attractive even for beginners. The device independently measures the aforementioned parameters and displays the results on a 4*20 LCD. The measurement error rate is around 0.5% or lower.

To design the schematic and PCB, I used Altium designer 22 and installed the missing component libraries using Altium’s manufacturer part search. The Octopart website allowed me to quickly gather information about the components and make a BOM for the project. To get high-quality fabricated boards, I sent the Gerber files to PCBWay and used the Siglent SDM3045X benchtop multimeter to calibrate the board.

It's a cool device to be used in everyday electronics, so let’s get started 🙂

I can explain to you how you can quickly locate experts who can assist with the research job. In addition to writing it for you, they can also give you instructions on how to complete the task yourself, how to plan such work, and other things. You can also look and read in detail at https://www.aresearchguide.com/4format.html if you're interested. I hope I was able to be of assistance, since I now frequently utilize this information.

It's cool that you explained it in so much detail, I'm still new to this and am just learning about it.

Super device. How much did it cost?
