Hello .... here a very light version of my circuit (sorry for the bad drawing).


So on one pole of the SSR I have a potential of 450v DC. My goal is to measure the resistance of the 'charge' (0 to 500 ohm) with a uprocessor when I don't have the 450v (SSR close). When I start to have the 450v, I do open the SSR. My problem is every single SSR who can handle 450v have a Ron resistance who change with temperature (30 ohm at 20 degrees to 60ohm at 85 degrees) and I need less than 5% tolerance of my 'charge'reading ....

Hi,

For accurate measurements you need to use a measuring method called "kelvin sensing".

I will take a look at all your suggestions ... forget to mention, the current for reading the value can NOT be more than 3mA
 

O.k., following the Kelvin sensing suggestion you are feeding 3 mA through "uP" pin and diode and measure load voltage drop through sufficient high ohmic, 450 V rated resistors and differential amplifier. Required voltage resolution for 5% of 500 ohm is 75 mV. How much time available for measurement?
