Hi there
First off, let me say that this is my new favourite site on the net!
I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out. I am a total newbie when it comes to electronics.
I have a CT which is very similar (if not identical) to this one: http://www.magnelab.com/catalog/sct_0750.php.
It's a 150 Amp CT which outputs 0.33 Vac at rated amps instead of current. I got it from a friend, so I thought I would try it out with my shiny new Arduino. :)
How would I be able to hook this up to the Arduino? Would I need to install a bridge rectifier to turn the Vac output to DC? Does it then still need to be biased up?
If so, could anybody help me out with a circuit diagram to explain?
