Hi all,
Doing some energy monitoring of some various equipment using ct clamps and an diy arduino based energy monitor. I have limited number of arduino inputs available so have been experimenting to boost the capacity of the monitor without using multi arduino. I have found no problem joining 2 or 3 clamps into one input if they are of the same phase but what would i need to do to sync the tiny voltage between clamps so that i could put all of my lights, which are split between the 3 phases into one input using 3 clamps.
I know the answer if there is one would be to use capacitors but it would be great if any1 could tell the values or configuration and what i would use to measure to make sure I've done it right it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks
Samuel
