High accuracy measurements of low-level signals in the presence of high isolation mode voltages can be difficult due to the errors of the isolation amplifiers themselves. This error analysis shows that when a low drift operational amplifier is used to preamplify the low-level source signal, a low cost, simple and accurate solution is possible. In the circuit shown in Figure 1, a 50mV shunt is used to measure the current in a 500VDC motor. The OPA27 amplifies the 50mV by 200X to 10V full scale. The output of the OPA27 is fed to the input of the ISO102, which is a unity-gain isolation amplifier. The 5kW and 1kW potentiometers connected to the ISO102 are used to adjust the gain and offset errors to zero as described in the ISO102 data sheet.
