Description

This sensor utilizes a fully integrated Hall Effect linear current sensor (SC780) for precise, galvanically isolated measurement. The sensing principle involves measuring the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through an internal, thick copper conductor, which provides excellent thermal performance and survival under high over-current conditions. The output is an analog voltage that varies linearly with the sensed current, simplifying signal conditioning.

Designed for professional and hobbyist applications, the module features clearly labeled polarity, through-hole vias for soldering thick wires or T-shaped connectors, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. Its low-hysteresis magnetic core and immunity to external magnetic fields ensure stable, interference-free readings in electrically noisy environments.

Key Features

  • Hall Effect-based linear current sensing for AC/DC measurement up to ±50A
  • Low 0.08mΩ current path impedance minimizes power loss and heating
  • High 80kHz bandwidth enables monitoring of rapidly changing currents
  • Fast 3.64µs response time suitable for motor control and protection circuits
  • Enhanced heat dissipation design and robust copper conductor for high over-current survival
  • Immunity to external magnetic fields, magnet wire, and geomagnetic interference
  • Gravity 3-pin interface for simplified connection to microcontroller ADCs
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C for harsh environments

Applications

  • Motor control and drive systems for over-current detection and protection
  • Load detection and power management in robotics and drones
  • Energy monitoring and power consumption analysis in AC/DC circuits
  • Battery charge/discharge current monitoring in renewable energy systems
  • Industrial equipment and appliance load sensing and fault diagnosis

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the input voltage requirement for this current sensor module?

The module requires a single 5V DC supply for its operating circuitry. The current-carrying path being measured can withstand up to 50V AC or 120V DC, providing isolation between the measured circuit and the sensor's logic side.

How do I interface this sensor with an Arduino or other microcontroller?

Connect the module's Gravity 3-pin connector to your board: 5V to 5V, GND to GND, and the SIG (signal) pin to an analog input (ADC) pin. The output is an analog voltage typically centered around Vcc/2 (2.5V at 5V supply), varying linearly with the measured current from -50A to +50A.

Can this sensor measure both AC and DC currents accurately?

Yes. The Hall Effect-based SC780 sensor provides a linear output proportional to the magnetic field generated by the current, regardless of its direction or type (AC/DC). Its high 80kHz bandwidth allows it to accurately track alternating currents within that frequency range.

What is the purpose of the low 0.08mΩ current path impedance?

The extremely low internal resistance of the copper conductor minimizes voltage drop and power loss (I²R heating) when high currents pass through the sensor. This improves efficiency, reduces self-heating effects, and enhances the module's ability to survive temporary over-current conditions.
