Op amp for CT sensor

operational-amplifier

I am trying to amplify a CT sensor.
The sensor is giving 5mV amplitude for low current, 100mV amplitude for higher current.

I built a voltage divider with 220 ohm resistors, and connect to a noninverting opamp with gain that should be 120k/10k+1 or about 13.

I am using 6V battery packs for positive and negative power for the LM358. The waveform going into the op amp shows on the oscilloscope as 5mV amplitude @60Hz.

The waveform coming out is only positive, and there is no gain. Since I'm fairly sure I built the circuit correctly, I'm first showing the schematic, assuming that the concept is wrong. If you experts tell me the schematic is right, then I will have to take a picture of the circuit and attach it to determine how it is built wrong.

Ok, in light of the answer I am posting a revised corrected schematic

I can offer you some simple changes that should improve things for you.

1) Change R4 & R5 to 100k. Leave C1 as 1uF.

2) Disconnect the left end of R2 from the junction of R4 & R5 and instead connect the left end of R2 to the positive side of a 10uF capacitor. The negative side of the capacitor goes to ground.

These changes separate the virtual-earth node (junction of R4, R5, C1) from the feedback network.

I'm also assuming that you are running the op-amp from a single, positive supply with the negative rail pin of the chip grounded. Please let us know if that is NOT the case - the circuit does change if you are using a bi-polar power supply.
