Overview
The MCP39F501 Power Monitor PICtail™ Evaluation Board duals as a fully functional single-phase power monitor and development platform. This low-cost design does not use any transformers and requires few external components. The device calculates active power, reactive power, RMS current, RMS voltage, power factor, line frequency and other typical power quantities as defined in the MCP39F501 data sheet. The MCP39F501 Power Monitor Utility software is used to calibrate and monitor the system and can be used to create custom calibration setups. For some accuracy requirements only a single point calibration may be needed.
• PICtail board allows development with Microchip’s 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers using the Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001)
• Displays Active, Reactive and Apparent Power, RMS Current, RMS Voltage, Line Frequency, Power Factor and Temperature using PC software
• Event notifications, such as Over Current, Over Power, Over/Under Frequency, Over/Under Temperature, and Voltage Sag/Surge
• Device configuration through PC software, including Event Notifications, Gain Calibration, EEPROM, Calculation Multipliers, and I/O settings
• 1x MCP39F501 Power Monitor PICtail™ Evaluation Board User’s Guide and Case (ADM00509)
