I'm looking for the best way to sample the 240VAC waveform from a powerline well staying within my design constraints. I would like to go transformerless because of size requirements and I would like to have a fairly high bandwidth, so I am looking into other options other than a high impedance resistive ladders. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this in a modern fashion? What about using a hall effect IC and a load resistor to convert the current back to a low enough sampling voltage?
Thanks, Thomas
