#109829 - monitoring mains voltage |
Hey Forum.
I am doing a monitoring aplication: If mains power is cut off, an alarm of some sort is needed. Verry simple - a few resistors and an optocoupler, and here we go. The problem is, that if I want - say 10 mA - through my optodevice, then ill have a power disipation of about 2,3W (mains voltage is 230V AC). With aprox. 20 circuits to monitor, ill have some 46W to get rid of. So, is there any body out there having an idea, how to monitor mains power with low loss? For safety reasons ill prefer isolation!
