/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1278401
The burden resistor has to have a Watt rating 2 times higher than expected. So with a 2000:5 Current Transformer the output current range is .25 to 2.5.
The Max power through a 15 ohm burden is ~90W, so I need a burden at 200W rated.
If the Burden was only 10 ohms I wouldn't need such a high rated resistor.
However, I cannot find a converter, of any type, that has a range which is lower that 3 volts.

I could design the burden to spit out any value voltage. But, because of the current being 100-1000A the output voltage is going to be huge. Always having a Vmax that is 10x the vin. So, 3-30, 3.5-35, 4-40.

Really, I'm running out of ideas.
Our range is huge.
I wish I could just buy a 4-50 volt buck boost that was reliable. Everything I see is Chinese garbage that is way overrated for what it actually can do
