4N35 - 0.7 Voltage drop
I don´t want to use a corrent transformer, I don´t have space in my board and it isn´t economical...
In the attachment we can see that it´s possible just using diodes to detect zero voltage and zero current crossing!
The diference it´s that I have a much higher current, the maximum is about 10A, so I have to use power diodes (BY359 support 10A) to the current. The zero voltage crossing works with 0.7V diodes (1N4007). The diodes BY359, using in the corrent, has a 1.1 dropping voltage but I reduce to 0.7V.
Do you think I´m wrong or what I have to do?
Help me... I´m a little confused.
