help me to sense 220vac with optocoupler...

schematic monitoring 220vac to adc

guys,
please help me in this regard...

I want to use mega8/32/128 (any one). Programming will be done through bascom compiler. And all most all of the ADCs will be used for some other job thus no way to use those ADC. Now what i have to do is, I have to sense the live 220AC and on the presense of that, i have to drive a relay, say for the presense of 220AC, the relay will be off. Relay is a power relay driven by say 12vdc. So my planning is to use optocoupler for safety of the mcu and i need to know first the wirings and also a code snippet for the sensing say at A.0, 220 presense means optocoupler gives signal high means A.0 is getting high and it will sense it and then will set A.1 to low (and vice versa) so optocoupler at A.1 will be low and the relay will be open. Please help me...

use optocoupler to monitor ac voltage

You may use MCT2E with a diode in series to the Anode and 33K 2watt resistor to the Cathode. The other side having the colletor and the emitter may be used in the way you need. Wether Hi or Low as output. Good luck

220v sense

can u give me a detail with example code snippet for basccom and also a little sample schematic type thing??? please....

www.all avr for output 220vac

Hello,

Do you only need to sense there is 220v or you want to quantify the intire voltage with your adc??

If you just want to sense the live main you can use one optoacupler and sense the main and the zero cross too. I use this ina a project to make an controled dimmer with microprocessor.

If you want to quantify all the 220v you can use this sensor **broken link removed**
but is expensive.
You can also rectify the main and sense with this http://www.linear.com/pc/productDetail.jsp?navId=H0,C1,C1154,C1009,C1077,P60190
with some little changes.
Or use an rms to dc converter.

If you specify more, we can be more objective.

Regards

220v ac avr

Well, let me tell you a bit more,...
I'm planning to make a IPS (Instant power supply) (a backup power). It will be AVR based. The say mega32 will first observe the 220vac mains. meanwhile, the ADC will take reading (2 ADC in that case for differential V) for charge current. The charger is not 3 stage but 2 stage. Upto a certain Current flow, it will be one charge voltage, means one pin is high to swtich on a pot in the voltage regulator. and when that current is lower than preset point, the pin will low, truning the pot off but turning an inverter gate on so another pot on, means float charge.

meanwhile, since a pin is constantly just monitoring the 220vac presence, once 220 goes off, it will get say at PD.0 low (it was supposed to get it high). This means no 220 available and thus it will turn on the inverter (by setting one pin, e.g. PD.1 to high). Meanwhile, another set of ADC (2 adc again) will constantly monitor the output current for detecting critical load and over load and it will print them on lcd, while also it will turn off the inverter, warning bells, etc etc.

Basically that's what i need. And for the safety of the mcu, i'm planning to use opto-couplers where ever needed.

Note: In my country Bangladesh, many components are not available thus i have to use common components for allmost any where...

inverter and relay

If you get AVR's you'll get MCT2E which is generally used and popular opto. Good luck

monitoring 220v ac schematic

This sounds like a home made explosive!

DO NOT connect the inverter output directly to your 220V output unless you fully understand the danger.

Problem 1.
If you are monitoring to see if the 220V is coming from the usual source and you are feeding in parallel with that source, your sensor will detect your own voltage as well as the incoming one.

Problem 2.
If it starts up you will be feeding the whole neighborhood.

Problem 3.
Consider what happens when the main AC is restored. If you are producing 220V AC, your peak voltage will be about 1.4 times the RMS = approximately 310V. Without the incoming power you have no phase reference to lock to so your inverter could be 180 degrees phase shifted and producing 310V in the opposite polarity. You are connecting them directly together! By all means try it but let me know so I can be a long way away!

Your should look at one of two solutions:

Convert your normal AC to a lower DC voltage and use it to charge a battery. Then use the battery to convert back up to 220V. If the charging stops because of a power blackout, the stored energy takes over. You can use the output while the incoming AC is present and the battery is float charging.

or

Use a 2-pole, 2-way relay, power the coil from the incoming 220V and use one set of contacts to switch your output from the incoming 220V to the output of your inverter. This will ensure it is impossible to link the two power sources together. Use the other contacts to enable your inverter. A relay will switch within a few milliseconds so the power glitch will hardly be noticeable. This method is safest and draws almost no power (only the relay coil) when normal 220V is present.

relays to switch 220v ac

Use a 2-pole, 2-way relay, power the coil from the incoming 220V and use one set of contacts to switch your output from the incoming 220V to the output of your inverter. This will ensure it is impossible to link the two power sources together. Use the other contacts to enable your inverter. A relay will switch within a few milliseconds so the power glitch will hardly be noticeable. This method is safest and draws almost no power (only the relay coil) when normal 220V is present.

already in that plan. the rectifier will charge the batt. and on failure of 220, the avr will sense and start working on various things... and dafinitely a 3-way switch will take over otherwise i will power the entire area... i already have the block diagram and some schematics for this job. now to make it a more better thing, i am planning it to be digitally controlled. that's all...

220vac mains sensor

guys, I am planning to sense the voltage between a resistor (current) and the voltage of the battery terminal. I'm giving the code here... all i want is to view the values upto 2 decimal point. say 4.87655449 will be 4.88. can you help??

using optocoupler open relay

guys, finally i have finished the part of charger...

thanks you all a lot....

i'll update on the final project...

Re: schematic monitoring 220vac to adc

Hi;
many opto couplers not lineer. You cannot measure AC voltage with standart opto like 4N25, 6N36...etc. You can use lineer opto+full bridge+small cap. Lineer opto contain one led and one opto diode not opto transistor.
I am using IL300 to measure AC voltage in range 100-250VAC with %1 resulation.
