Abstract: An electrical energy analyzer including a computer for monitoring energy consumption and supporting ripple control is provided with improved A/D converter resolution by applying a 1/2 LSB square wave offset signal to the non-inverting input of a differential amplifier for amplifying a current shunt voltage. The amplifier output has limited filtering to allow a 1/2 to 1 LSB random signal to be applied to the measurement signal entering the A/D converter.
