ACS724 Current Sensor Carrier -30A to +30A

The Pololu ACS724 Current Sensor Carrier is a compact, high-performance board that functions as a carrier for Allegro’s bidirectional ±30A ACS724LLCTR-30AB linear current sensor. This sensor boasts a low-resistance current path of about 1.2 mΩ and provides electrical isolation up to 2.4 kV RMS. It can handle a bidirectional current input up to 30 A and produces a proportional analog voltage of 66 mV/A, centered at 2.5 V. With a minimal error margin of ±0.8%, this sensor operates optimally between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, making it perfect for use in 5 V systems.The ACS724 Current Sensor Carrier from Pololu is an excellent tool for monitoring power usage in real-time. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including motor control, load detection and management, power supply monitoring, and over-current fault protection. Its compact size makes it ideal for use in space-constrained applications.One of the key benefits of this current sensor is its ability to handle high current loads while maintaining a low-resistance current path. This ensures efficient operation and minimizes power loss. Furthermore, the electrical isolation provided by the sensor allows it to be used in systems where electrical noise could be an issue.Unique to this sensor is its bidirectional current input feature. This allows it to accurately measure current in both directions, making it extremely versatile. The analog voltage output, proportional to the input current, simplifies its integration into existing systems, allowing for easy monitoring and control of power usage.
