Detection of spark tampering in energy meter

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPT101, OPT301, TIDA-00839

Hello;

        I want to know if there are any sensors (optical or otherwise) which can be used in energy meters to detect spark tampering.

 

  • Hello Amey,

    Thanks for your post. I'm not aware of any TI Designs for e-meters that feature spark detection. The TIDA-00839 Reference Design features Magnetic Tamper Detection Using Low-Power Hall Effect Sensors but not Spark Detection. My recommendation would be to check out our optical sensors, such as the OPT101 and OPT301, to see if they could be used for spark detection.
