Design And Construction Of Microcontroller Based Digital Wattmeter

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this project is to design and implement a digital wattmeter that can measure wattage of a circuit The design is implemented using the microcontroller ATMEGA 8, based on the principle of calculating power mathematically two ATMEGA8 were used, one for measuring current while the other for measuring voltage, the multiplication of the voltage and current values gives the wattage reading. At the end of the process the LCD displays the voltage, current and wattage readings. The wattmeter is able to take both AC and DC measurements.
