Input and Output:
- Input: Measures current flowing through the sensor.
- Output: Voltage signal corresponding to the current; 2.5V at 0A, increasing by 185mV per Ampere.
Physical Characteristics:
- Size: Compact and designed for easy integration into circuits.
- Mounting: Typically mounted on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or within an enclosure.
- Material: Plastic housing with an integrated Hall effect sensor.
Technical Specifications:
- Current Measurement Range: ±20A AC or DC
- Output Voltage at 0A: 2.5V
- Voltage Sensitivity: 185mV/A
- Response Time: Fast response suitable for dynamic measurements
Additional Features:
- Overcurrent Protection: Built to handle currents up to 20A, beyond which the sensor might be damaged.
- Accurate Measurement: Provides precise current measurement with a linear output.
How to Use:
- Connect the sensor to your circuit, ensuring the current-carrying wire passes through the sensor.
- Supply 5V DC power to the sensor.
- Read the output voltage from the sensor. At 0A, the output should be 2.5V. The output voltage will increase or decrease proportionally to the current flowing through the sensor.
- Calculate the current using the formula: Current (A) = (Output Voltage – 2.5V) / 0.185V.
This ACS 712 20A current sensor is ideal for applications requiring accurate current measurement in both AC and DC circuits. Its hall effect technology provides a safe and non-invasive way to measure current with reliable results. Always handle the sensor with care and ensure proper wiring to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings.
