I'm new to the site and to energy monitoring. My engineer wanted me to ask the following question..
Is it possible to use the info/hw available on this site to build a unit that uses current transformers to output pulses from an industrial fuse panel (600+ amps). to the internet?
Re: How to handle high amp applications
I don't understand, do you want to emulate a meter that generates a pulse per unit of energy? A c.t. will provide a low amplitude copy of its primary current, the emonTx sensor node can be programmed to do whatever you like with that. The example sketches measure a sample of current and (if available) voltage, and from those calculate / estimate (as appropriate) real power, apparent power, rms current and voltage, and report it every 5 s (because extended battery operation is a possibility). Reading between the lines, you can if you want monitor continuously and output a pulse for every 1 Wh (or whatever unit you want) of energy.
Why not get your engineer on-line and we can probably talk the same language? (Send him to my profile here.)
