Typical Connection Diagrams
Figure 3 below shows a typical connection diagram
for Channel V1. Here the analog inputs are being
used to monitor both the Phase and Neutral currents.
Because of the large potential difference between the
phase and neutral, two CTs (current transformers)
must be used to provide the isolation. Notice both
CTs are referenced to AGND (analog ground), hence
the common mode voltage is 0V. The CT turns ratio
and burden resistor (Rb) are selected so as to give a
peak differential voltage of ±660mV/Gain.

Figure 4. shows two typical connections for Channel
V2. The first option uses a PT (potential transformer)
to provide complete isolation from the mains voltage.
In the second option the AD7751 is biased around
the neutral wire and a resistor divider is used to
provide a voltage signal which is proportional to the
line voltage. Adjusting the ratio of Ra and Rb is also a
convenient way of carrying out a gain calibration on
the meter.

ANALOG INPUTS
Channel V2 (Voltage Channel)
The output of the line voltage transducer is connected to the
AD7751 at this analog input. Channel V2 is a fully differential
voltage input. The maximum peak differential signal on
Channel 2 is ±660mV. Figure 1 illustrates the maximum signal
levels which can be connected to the AD7751 Channel 2.

Figure 1. Maximum signal levels, Channel 2
Channel 2 must be driven from a common mode voltage, i.e.
the differential voltage signal on the input must be reference to
a common mode (usually AGND). The analog inputs of the
AD7751 can be driven with common mode voltages of up to
100mV with respect to AGND. However best results are
achieved using a common mode equal to AGND.
Channel V1 (Current Channel)
The voltage outputs from the current transducers are connected
to the AD7751 here. Channel V1 has two voltage inputs,
namely V1A and V1B. These inputs are fully differential with
respect to V1N. However, at any one time only one is selected
to perform the power calculation—see Fault Detection.
The analog inputs V1A, V1B and V1N have the same maxi-
mum signal level restrictions as V2P and V2N. However
Channel 1 has a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with user
selectable gains of 1, 2, 8 or 16—see Table I. These gains
facilitate easy transducer interfacing.

Figure 2. Maximum signal levels, Channel 1
The diagram in figure 2 illustrates the maximum signal levels
on V1A, V1B and V1N. The maximum differential voltage is
±660mV divided by the gain selection. Again the differential
voltage signal on the inputs must be referenced to a common
mode, e.g. AGND.
