Thanks Luc, coming close.
could you please keep a DMM (in current mode) next to csr1? It will give the correct average input current and it should compare with csr1. As long as those 2 are not the same, there is something wrong with csr1 or how you (scope) measure it.

Hi Itsu, Eventually I was able to get both CSR's to average using the last test setup but only by changing the circuit frequency down to 20Hz or up to 40Hz. However, at 30Hz it does what I demonstrated in my last video. It's like the scope data only works well with even frequencies Anyways, looks like averaging is possible to achieve if you play around with the measuring and circuit conditions. Something new learned. BTW, I noticed you're also working on tests that involve magnets and coils? I'm asking because I have an ferrite toroid coil I wound and pulse that when a ferrite magnet of a certain size is positioned at a certain location the input power goes down and the inductive discharge (flyback) power goes up. Don't quite understand why the input power goes down because usually a magnet will lower the inductance of a ferrite coil which would cause more current draw Is that something you may be interested in seeing in your topic or should I start another topic? Regards Luc
