measure VAC with DAQ

measure VAC with DAQ

measure VAC with DAQ

(OP)
Hi everybody

I am trying to measure 120/240 VAC with a DAQ system that has an input range of 0-10 VDC. I have to imagine there is an off-the-self ratiometric transformer or ADC that can accomplish this.

Does anyone have suggestions for a simple off the self product?

Thank you

RE: measure VAC with DAQ

You'd probably also want isolation. If you can't go negative with your ADC then you'd also need an offset. Do a search on "isolated probes".

RE: measure VAC with DAQ

Pur this in Google: ac voltage transducer 0-10v

You'll get a wide selection. I prefer the Square D 120VAC: 0-10V model.

Best to you,

Goober Dave

Your the best! Transducer was the word I was missing. I was searching for "rectifiers" and "Transformers" and "ADC" and coming up empty.

Thank you very much.

You are very welcome. Thanks for the follow-up.

Best to you,
