Three phase utility meter display 80VAC - 500VAC
I am designing an energy meter for industrial applications. It use an ARM processor and 4.7" backlit LCD and LiPo battery.
We need ~ 10-12 watts minimum at 5V Isolated. There is no guarantee that a neutral wire is available so I wish to put L1, L2, L3 & Neutral through 8 diodes as a full wave rectifier and use this as the primary DC feed. Preferred operating range at full power is from at least 80VAC - 500VAC.
I envisage a cascode FET being utilised as per PI's DER-58 3W utility meter application. Can you supply any advice which may help my design - I am thinking of trying the Topswitch JX in this application - is there a better choice for the main control device ?
I would welcome any suggestions or advice if anyone has been down a similar path, or can steer me to which device and design spreadsheet to start with. Transformer design is not my strong point either. Thanking you in advance for any help.
The best device to use is probably TNYSwitch-III
