This is a breakout board for the fully integrated Hall Effect based linear ACS712 current sensor. The sensor gives precise current measurement for both AC and DC signals. Thick copper conductor and signal traces allows for survival of the device up to 5 times overcurrent conditions. The ACS712 outputs an analog voltage output signal that varies linearly with sensed current. The device requires 5VDC for VCC and a couple of filter capacitors. Please keep in mind that though the ACS712 is rated for 2.1kV isolation, the PCB it is on is not designed for that type of voltage. Please keep that in mind if you are using this breakout in high voltage applications.

Reading Sensing and Controlling current flow is a requirements in a wide variety of application including, over-current protection circuits, switching mode, battery chargers, power supplies, digital watt meter and programmable current source, etc.. The ACS721 current reading module is based on ACS712 Sensor which can detect AC, DC current signal accurately. The maximum AC / DC can be detected using ACS712 will reach 30 amp and present current signal can read via analog IO port of Arduino, Product available for this module are 30A, 20A, 5A. for this demonstration we will used the ACS712 30A.

This is a small but very effective Linear current sensor module, This module is designed around ACS712 hall effect based current sensor chip. This module is good for max 5A current measurement. ACS712 chip takes AC or DC voltage at its input and its output varies linearly with sensed current, its output is analog voltage.
