	The 30 Amp Sensor measures alternating current (AC) up to 30 Amps and direct current (DC) between –30 and +30 Amps. The AC output will give the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of an alternating current assuming the current is sinusoidal, and the sine wave is varying equally across the zero point. The AC output can also be used for signals that are not varying evenly around the zero point but the value will be the RMS plus a DC component. If a DC signal is being measured, the AC output will produce a signal that can be used to calculate the current but without the value representing direction of current flow.		The 30 Amp Sensor measures alternating current (AC) up to 30 Amps and direct current (DC) between –30 and +30 Amps. It uses a hall-effect based sensor to measure the magnetic field induced by the applied current flowing through a copper conductor. It then converts the magnetic data into a current measurement with internal calculations. The AC output will give the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of an alternating current assuming the current is sinusoidal, and the sine wave is varying equally across the zero point. The AC output can also be used for signals that are not varying evenly around the zero point but the value will be the RMS plus a DC component.
