PCB for measurement and scaling - review request
« on: September 29, 2025, 06:34:55 pm »
Hi all,

I have created a dedicated PCB for measuring AC voltages and currents and scaling them to low voltage levels for op-ams and DPS (in another board).
As suggested in one of the previous post, I am using a current transformer for measuring AC currents.

The basic power schematics is shown here:
2668281-0

It is a 2-layer board.

I would appreciate your comments and suggestions on the schematics and layout.
Also, I am not sure if the current transformer can measure non-linear current, e.g., this one?

Schematics is here:
2668285-1, 2668289-2, 2668293-3 and 2668297-4

Layout is here:
2668301-5 and 2668305-6

3D model is here:
2668309-7 and 2668313-8

Thanks, MB

Does the layout look okay?
I did have many iterations, and somehow this looks the most promising. However, I have no experience with combining high voltage (230 Vac) and low voltage. I tried to have enough clearance between signals and also added some board outputs when this was not possible.

I've not reviewed it in any detail, but the clearance slots look very narrow.  How wide are they?

I'd recommend 2mm as that is a standard routing bit size and you seem to have plenty of space.

What is the purpose of measuring in and out current?
