Burden Resistor Formulae
R = (Vcc * Nturns) / (2√2 * Irms)
R: Burden resistor value in Ohm
Vcc: ADC max voltage range (usually 3.3V)
Nturns: Number of CT sensor turns (see specs).
- SCT-013 is 2000 turns.
- SCT-019 is 6000.
- SCT-006 is 800.
Irms: Max current to be read in Ampere (rms)
Current Coefficient Formulae
This will compute ICAL.
ICAL = Nturns / R
ICAL: Current Coefficient
Nturns: Number of CT sensor turns
R: Burden resistor value in Ohm
