[PIC] Measuring Electricity Units(kWh) By PIC 16F887 and store them to EEPROM

[kanai42]

I have a project which involve measuring electricity in terms of kWh and store them in the chip EEPROM by using PIC. This electricity comes from a 220V-250V aka the mains from electricity suppliers. If you can help me in any way ... Please..
Thanks.

Easiest method is to use an Energy measurement IC.

How do I do that?

Go through the application notes and reference designs. You can use IC's such as ADE7757, MCP3905, etc... Also you would require a shunt resistor, current transformer to measure the current.

Can you give me any sample design because am new to this area.
