ABSTRACT
This project is basically designed to sense the input voltage and hence protect system
equipment and circuitry from voltage that is hazardous or unsuitable for operation.
Voltage Sensors are designed to operate in a wide variety of military and industrial
environments. Models are available for operation with single or three phase voltage systems
and for DC, 50, 60, or 400 Hz. applications.
The measurement capabilities of different voltage transducers differ widely due to the many
ranges of their usage, from computer circuitry to large transformer circuits.
The voltage sensor under consideration includes three major components namely potential
divider circuit, isolation amplifier HCPL-7800A and TLE2082CP.
The potential divider circuit is used to step down the input voltage that is to be sensed (0340V) to the order of millivolts, since the recommended operating range for the input voltage
applied to HCPL-7800A lies in the range -200 mV to +200mV.
The output voltage of the sensor circuit lies in the range 0-5V.
General Circuit board(GCB) and Printed Circuit Board(PCB) were made and tested.

INTRODUCTION
VOLTAGE SENSOR:
AC Voltage Sensors are designed to protect system equipment and circuitry from voltage that
is hazardous or unsuitable for operation. Models are available for operation with single or
three phase voltage systems and for DC, 50, 60, or 400 Hz. applications. They can be used to
monitor for under-voltage, over-voltage, or a voltage window. In the event that the sensor
detects an undesirable voltage condition, the output of the sensor can be used to activate
alarms, shed loads, or shutdown systems. The measurement capabilities of different voltage
transducers differ widely due to the many ranges of their usage, from computer circuitry to
large transformer circuits.
CURRENT SENSOR:
The current sensor we are using in our project is TLE2082CP. The TLE208x series of JFETinput operational amplifiers more than double the bandwidth and triple the slew rate of the
TL07x and TL08x families of BiFET operational amplifiers. The TLE208x also have wider
supply-voltage rails, increasing the dynamic-signal range for BiFET circuits to 19 V. Onchip zener trimming of offset voltage yields precision grades for greater accuracy in dccoupled applications. The TLE208x are pin-compatible with lower performance BiFET
operational amplifiers for ease in improving performance in existing designs. This signal is
given to a current to voltage converter. From the current to voltage converter it is given to a
low pass filter for further conditioning. The output voltage obtained is proportional to input
line current up to a certain current value then the output voltage becomes saturated.
Accordingly the current sensor can be used for its applications.

BLOCK DIAGAM AND CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
VOLTAGE SENSOR:
The block diagram of the voltage sensing card is shown in fig 2.1.
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The voltage sensing card under consideration can be used for both ac and dc voltage
measurements. The input voltage to be measured lies in the range (0-340VPeak, range can be
modifed). It is given to the potential divider circuit which brings down the voltage to be
measured to the order of millivolts. The potential divider circuit consists of four 470k
resistors and a 1k POT in series. The voltage across the 1k POT setting gets applied
between the input terminals of HCPL-7800A. Since, the output voltage should lie in the
range (0-5V), the POT setting is set to 0.9k which is connected to pins 2 and 4 of HCPL7800A.
The +5V power supply to the pins 1 and 8 are isolated. Therefore, they are represented by
two +5V voltage regulators (LM7805) in the block diagram as in fig 2.1.
The recommended operating range for the input voltage applied to HCPL-7800A lies in the range
-200 mV to +200mV. The mean gain value of HCPL-7800A is 8.
Hence, the output of HCPL-7800A lies between +1.6V to -1.6V. For the sensor under
consideration, the maximum output of HCPL-7800A is 1.2992VPeak which is the maximum value
of input voltage to TLE2082CP.
The gain of TLE2082CP is set to 3.9 by using 1k resistor at its inverting input and 3.9k as the
feedback resistor. Hence, the maximum value of the output of TLE2082CP which is also the
output of the sensor is 1.2992 * 3.9 = 5.06V.

DETAILS ABOUT HCPL-7800A
3.1 ISOLATION AMPLIFIER
Isolation amplifiers provide electrical isolation and an electrical safety barrier. They protect data
acquisition components from common mode voltages, which are potential differences between
instrument ground and signal ground. Instruments without an isolation barrier that are applied in
the presence of a common mode voltage allow ground currents to circulate, leading in the best
case to a noisy representation of the signal under investigation. In the worst case, assuming that
the magnitude of common mode voltage and/or current is sufficient, instrument destruction is
likely.
Amplifiers with an isolation barrier allow the front-end of the amplifier to float with respect to
common mode voltage to the limit of the barrier's breakdown voltage, which is often 1,000 VDC,
peak AC, or more. This action serves to protect the amplifier and the instrument connected to it,
while still allowing a reasonably accurate measurement.
output pulses into the positions of the encoder output pulses. A significant benefit of this coding
scheme is that any non-ideal characteristics of the LED (such as non-linearity and drift overtime
and temperature) have little, if any, effect on the performance of the HCPL-7800A.

DETAILS ABOUT TLE2082CP
4.1 DESCRIPTION
The TLE208x series of JFET-input operational amplifiers more than double the bandwidth and
triple the slew rate of the TL07x and TL08x families of BiFET operational amplifiers. The
TLE208x also have wider supply-voltage rails, increasing the dynamic-signal range for BiFET
circuits to 19 V. On-chip zener trimming of offset voltage yields precision grades for greater
accuracy in dc-coupled applications. The TLE208x are pin-compatible with lower performance
BiFET operational amplifiers for ease in improving performance in existing designs.
BiFET operational amplifiers offer the inherently higher input impedance of the JFET-input
transistors, without sacrificing the output drive associated with bipolar amplifiers. This makes
these amplifiers better suited for interfacing with high-impedance sensors or very low level ac
signals. They also feature inherently better ac response than bipolar or CMOS devices having
comparable power consumption.
Because BiFET operational amplifiers are designed for use with dual power supplies, care must
be taken to observe common-mode input-voltage limits and output voltage swing when operating
from a single supply. DC biasing of the input signal is required and loads should be terminated to
a virtual ground node at mid-supply.
The TLE208x are fully specified at 15 V and 5 V.
Differential input voltage range, VID lies between VCC+ and VCC-
The common-mode input voltage (VIC) for VCC = 15V lies between -10.9V and 15V.
CHAPTER 5
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
5.1 5V POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The 5V power supply circuit of fig 5.1 consists of a step down transformer. 230V AC is applied
to the primary side of the transformer and the voltage obtained on the secondary side is 9V AC.
The 9V AC is converted to DC using a bridge rectifier comprising of four 1N4007 diodes. The
capacitors are used for the removal of ripples in the circuit. The voltage regulator used is
LM7805 which produces a steady 5V regulated DC. This 5V DC is given to the isolation
amplifier HCPL-7800A. Since the input and output side of HCPL-7800A are isolated, two such
5V power supplies are required.

CALCULATION OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE FOR THE SENSOR
Let us consider an ac input of 220V (RMS).
Then the peak value of input equals 2202 that is equal to 311.126V.

SIMULATION OF THE SENSOR CIRCUIT USING
MULTISIM SOFTWARE
8.1 DESCRIPTION OF MULTISIM SOFTWARE
Simulation is a mathematical way of emulating the behavior of a circuit. With simulation,
you can determine much of a circuit's performance without physically constructing the circuit
or using actual test instruments. Although Multisim makes simulation intuitively easy-to-use,
the technology underlying the speed and accuracy of the simulation, as well as its ease-ofuse, is complex.
To view the results of your simulation, you will need to use either a virtual instrument or run
an analysis to display the simulation output. This output will include the combined results of
all Multisim simulation engines.
When you use interactive simulation in Multisim (by clicking on the Run Simulation button),
you see the simulation results instantly by viewing virtual instruments such as the
oscilloscope. The dual-channel oscilloscope displays the magnitude and frequency variations
of electronic signals. It can provide a graph of the strength of one or two signals over time, or
allow comparison of one waveform to another.
During simulation, you can change the values of "interactive" components (those whose
behavior can be controlled through the keyboard) and view the effect immediately.
Interactive components include such devices as the potentiometer, variable capacitor,
variable inductor, and multiple switcher.
The Multisim component database is designed to hold the information necessary to describe
any component. It contains all the details needed for schematic capture (symbols), simulation
(models) and PCB layout (footprints), as well as other electrical information.
There are three levels of database provided by Multisim. The master database is read only,
and contains components supplied by Electronics Workbench. The user database is private to
an individual user. It is used for components built by an individual that are not intended to be
shared. The corporate database is used to store custom components that are intended to be
shared across an organization. Various database management tools are supplied in order to
Fig 8.1 Potential Divider simulation circuit for AC input in Multisim window
The voltage sensing card circuit was simulated for an AC input of 240V (rms). 0.9k setting
of the POT was considered. Fig 8.1 represents the potential divider circuit. Fig 8.2 represents
the voltage sensing card circuit after HCPL-7800A as can be seen from Fig 2.2.
Since HCPL-7800A is not available in the Multisim Library, it was replaced by an AC
voltage source whose magnitude equals eight times the output of the potential divider circuit
as the gain of HCPL-7800A is 8. This can be seen in Fig 8.2.
Fig 8.3 represents the output of the voltage sensing card circuit in oscilloscope.

Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT4/2000/XP or
Linux based on kernel 2.x, libc6 and X11 with a minimum color depth of 8 bpp,
a hard disk with a minimum of 50 Mbyte free memory,
a minimum graphics resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, and
preferably a 3-button mouse.
Control Panel and Editor Windows
From the Control Panel you can open schematic, board, or library editor windows by using
the File menu or double clicking an icon.
EAGLE Files
The following table lists the most important file types that can be edited with EAGLE:
Type Window Name
Board Layout Editor *.brd
Schematic Editor *.sch
Library Editor *.lbr
Script File Text Editor *.scr
User Language Program Text Editor *.ulp
Any text file Text Editor *.*
Backup Files
EAGLE creates backup data of schematic, board, and library files. They will be saved with
modified file extensions:
.brdbecomes .b#1,
.schbecomes .s#1, and
.lbrbecomes .l#1.
There can be a maximum number of 9 backup files.
It is also possible to have EAGLE files saved in a certain time-interval. In this case the files
get the extension b##, s## or l##. The files can be used again after renaming them with the
original file extension. All settings concerning backups can be done in the Options/Backup
menu of the Control Panel.
