The ACS712 is a versatile and reliable current sensor module widely used in various applications for current sensing. Available in several models that cater to different current ranges—5A, 10A, 20A, and 30A—this sensor ensures flexibility across diverse applications. It operates based on the Hall effect principle, where changes in the magnetic field caused by electric currents are translated into voltage outputs proportional to the current. This makes it suitable for both AC and DC measurements. Each version of the ACS712 provides a specific sensitivity, with higher current models generally offering lower sensitivity, tailored to handle larger currents without saturation. Its analog output correlates directly with the current passing through the conductor, facilitating easy integration with microcontrollers and other electronic control systems for real-time monitoring and control. Safety features include electrical isolation between the current path and sensor outputs, and protecting sensitive electronics from high voltages or currents. Overall, the ACS712 module series stands out for its ease of use, accuracy, and robust design, making it ideal for applications such as overload protection, fault detection, and power monitoring.
