hello, thanks for your writing. now im learning how to measure power factor using arduino and i
am going to use acs712 current sensor module. but as i read your post and your comment, you
recomended CT as it more safer. i have read about CT to find why its much safer but i can't find
the idea.
can you please help me out why CT is more safer and what about acs712?
thankyou

Hi, thank u for great tutorial.
can you please add a more simplified circuit diagram something like what i have given as
example. Because fritzing diagram is confusing me with the ground connections.
Thanks
