I hooked up the ground fault test box again, and took some measurements. With a calculated ground fault of 0.09A I was getting an peak A rms reading on the arduino of 0.05A it was regular but not constant.
I was able to measure a calculated 0.1A ground fault with the meter and the arduino. The arduino still measured 0.05A but the meter measured 0.9A. This wasn't a reliable measurement though.
The detectable amperage is higher than the standard which is 0.06A at the highest, but I didn't set out to build a gfci and I am pleased with the results.
I did check the arduino at a measured 0.6A calculated load and measured 0.52 so I am happy that it was closer at this level. I will continue to test the circuit and finish with three graphs, Calculated, Meter, and Arduino and compare the results, but I have to get a better dmm first.
