source=3DTypical isolation factor is twice the rated voltage plus = 1000Volts (i.e. for 240V =3D 1480Volts). I would recommend 8 or at = least at the very least 4 samples per quadrant for 50/60Hz especially if = you ever consider KVA results someday.

Also could you please converse on the incoming peak-peak = value, instantaneous spikes as well phase shift handling method in your = example. I'd like to try your concept if feasible. Tx. Sounds like a nice challenge. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads
