Current Sensor ACS712 30A
The ACS712-30A current sensor is a commonly used current sensor with a 30A nominal current rating. It is not a module itself but rather the maximum current rating of the ACS712 series that can be used to measure currents up to 30A.
To measure currents up to 30A, you can use the ACS712-30A IC in your circuit. It operates similarly to other ACS712 modules, employing the Hall effect to sense the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through a conductor and converting it into a voltage output. The output voltage will have a sensitivity of 66mV per ampere of current.
