I would like to check if the AC circuit that my Micro Processor is controlling is being short circuited or if there is not draw on the circuit at all. The nominal load on the circuit would be about 300mA. If it is too large (1.5A for example) I would like to know this, because this would mean that there is a short, and would result on the Micro telling the Triad to stop the current.
I however do not know how I would detect the current being drawn.
Also would there be a way to protect the Micro from the current detecting, incase there is a large voltage spike from frying the Micro? (the triads are rated for 4kV separation from AC to DC) and I would like to maintain this with the current detection.
I forgot to add that the Voltage will be 25V AC nominally, with a "max (transformer)" current of 2.0A, unless there is a current spike.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
