CS5460A
complete isolation from the power lines. This isola-
tion is achieved using three transformers. One
transformer is a general-purpose voltage trans-
former, used to supply the on-board DC power to
the CS5460A. A second transformer is a high-pre-
cision, low-impedance voltage transformer (often
called a ‘potential transformer’) with very little
roll-off/phase delay, even at the higher harmonics.
A current transformer is then used to sense the line
current. A burden resistor placed across the sec-
ondary of the current transformer creates the cur-
rent-sense voltage signal, for the CS5460A’s
current channel inputs. Because the CS5460A is
not directly connected to the power mains, isola-
tion is not required for the CS5460A’s digital inter-
face.
Figure 8 shows the CS5460A configured to mea-
sure power in a single-phase 3-wire system. In
many 3-wire residential power systems within the
United States, only the two Line terminals are
available (neutral is not available). Figure 9 shows
how the CS5460A can be configured to meter a
3-wire system when no neutral is available.
