Sensor Definition for a Hall Effect current sensor

[Doug1]

Hi
All

Here is a definition for another Hall Effect Current Sensor, range 0 to 30amps.
The ACS715 sensor is about the size of a postage stamp, made by Pololu and costs about $10
The shunt resistance is only 1.2 milliohms
Built in isolation of 2100 volts prevents any ground loops affecting the measurement.
Accuracy is about +/-1.5%

sensor={
id=HALL EFFECT SHUNT (ACS715)
function=AMPS
pins=C37_P4 C37_P6 C37_P7 C37_P8 C37_P9 C37_P10 C37_P11 C37_P12 C37_P20 C37_P21 C37_P22 C37_P23 C37_P31
name=AMPS
min_val=0
max_val=30
resolution=1
round=.1
is_piecewise=0
low_coeff={
c_x4=0
c_x3=0
c_x2=0
c_x1=7.5188
c_x0=-3.7594
}
low_resistance=NONE
low2high_cross=0
high_coeff={
c_x4=0
c_x3=0
c_x2=0
c_x1=0
c_x0=0
}
high_resistance=NONE
high2low_cross=0
shift=5
}

BTW there are other models available with different current ranges but will require a different definition

Hi All

Here is a another definition for another Hall Effect Current Sensor, the Pololu ACS714
with a range of -30 to 30amps.

Accuracy is also about +/-1.5%

     name=AMPS
     min_val=-30
     max_val=30
     resolution=1
     round=.1
     is_piecewise=0
     low_coeff={
           c_x4=0
           c_x3=0
           c_x2=0
           c_x1=15.1515
           c_x0=-37.8788
           }
     low_resistance=NONE
     low2high_cross=0
     high_coeff={

           c_x0=0
           }
     high_resistance=NONE
     high2low_cross=0
     shift=5
     }

Much thanks to you Doug. I really appreciate your time investment. It is amazing the actual size of this little bugger.
I am swapping out a GRT CS01 that has never produced an accurate indication.
