And yes, I tried to get rid of transformers by using voltage divider network and opamp at the rear end but the whole affair ended in a smoke literally, the opamp got blown off.any idea? We should see the circuit to find out why your try ended in smoke. Normally, voltage dividers in the MOhm range are used to do the job. Remember, input impedance of a DVM (Digital Volt Meter) normally is about 10MOhm. Don't forget the cap to block DC components. And - you will need a RMS chip like AD736 or similar to display the AC signal as RMS value. Kai |
