 		 #89000 - Higher resolution avoids gain switcing
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello Prahlad,

>Problem
>For better measurement accuracy, I use 3 Measurement ranges
>1. 0kA-18kA Measurement Accuracy 0.1kA
>2. 0kA-36kA Measurement Accuracy 0.2kA
>3. 0kA-52kA Measurement Accuracy 0.3kA

From the information given above, I am assuming you are using an 8bit ADC, if I remember vaguely from your previous posts, I think it is the PCF8591.

My suggestion would be to go for a higher resolution ADC such as the MCP3202, which is a 12 bit ADC available for about Rs.126/= in Mumbai, which will satisfy your required resolution in one range.

Regards,
John.
