Calculation & Assumption

1. H-CT005-24D converts 0-250 Ampere current to 0-5A.

2. Assumption: Typical usage detection 2-3A in output of H-CT005-24D (100-150A on main line)
3. The 2-3A output from current transformer connected to rectifier. The function of rectifier is to
change AC to DC current. 2-3 Ampere of DC current converted to 10-15VDC by 5 Ohm Resistor.
Minimum Wattage of the resistor must use maximum current multiplied by Voltage. For this
design:
 Maximum current detection: 3A
 Maximum Voltage: 3A*5Ohm = 15VDC
 Maximum Wattage: 3A*15VDC = 45Watt.
 Resistor must use >45Wattage Resistor.
4. IC7805 is used for regulate voltage to 5VDC. Maximum of its input is 25VDC.
5. TIP3055 is used for amplify current of IC7805 output. So the maximum current of the circuit vary
between 2-3A. (Same as input current)

I design it with no external battery source. So you can easily clip it to the main line and use the
output voltage from your current transformer to your device (for example: your phone)
