I am having a hard time understanding how to measure current safely in the following circuit.
The circuit consists of an isolated step up transformer. 50V 1kHz pulsed dc on the primary and 500V 1kHz pulsed dc on the secondary @ 10mA max. I am wanting to measure current on the secondary side of the circuit.
I am using a propscope (USB oscilloscope).
Since the secondary circuit is isolated where would I place the 1 ohm resistor?
Second, how can I measure the voltage across the resistor safely without damaging my scope, computer, or circuit?
Thanks in advance
