ADC concept for 500VAC to 500mV for sampling with harmonics,transient,flicker
Hello Guys,
I am planning to start a new project, and right now I am doing concept hunting. I wish to gather information before I would dive in some experiments to minimize cost.
I am going to create a 500VAC to 500mV Analog to Digital (ADC) converter which I will be interfacing with an MCU. I do have an approach in mind which can attain this function, such as, using OpAmps or a combination of transformer and OpAmps. However the part I am having doubts is, will it capture Harmonics (THD and TDD)?
I understand that Harmonics occur starting as twice the fundamental frequency and above. My question really is will there be such ADC that its resolution is high enough to capture the harmonics.
Any idea, advice or shedding light on my troubled mind would really help me a lot. I am looking forward of hearing from you guys. Thank you
