An ATmega32u4 based thingy for driving liniear actuators for table legs and controlling a dust collection system in my table saw table
The current transformer outputs 1000:1 current, so 5 A through the primary gives a 5 mA secondary current.
I want the maximum current to be 8 A on the primary, so that's 8 mA on the secondary, which I want to measure with an ADC input on the AVR running at 5V, so full ADC range is 0-5 V.
To detect the averaged current easily I'll use a diode detector with a 10uF + 100k discharge resistor.
The diode drops 0.7 V, so I need full range (8 mA) to result in 5.7 V at the transformer, so the ADC sees 5V.
A resistor that drops 5.7V at 8 mA is 712 Ohm, rounding off to the nearest E24 value gives me 680 Ohm and a full-range of 0 - 8.4 A.
