Hello guys,
I'm working on a project with a esp32 pico v3.
I would like to limit the current drawn by the MOSFETs by measuring the current consumed with an ACS71240KEXBLT-010B3. This component measures the current in +/-10A and sends a proportional voltage to the esp32.
I would like to know if this solution can replace physical fuses for an industrial application
Thank you for your feedback
Esp32 and software current limiting
Re: Esp32 and software current limiting
You can do it but it wouldn't replace fuses for safety purposes the control loop is too big and unreliable.
Re: Esp32 and software current limiting
Absolutely not, You may not using this solution in industrial application, otherwise causing people death.
You may not using this solution in consumer application, otherwise coursing Lawsuits and damages.
If you want to do this, please do the product testing in a qualified organization and get a certificate of approval.
You're brave, but it's against the law.

Hello everyone, thank you for your very informative comments.
Circuit protection is provided by a general 20A-12V fuse. This fuse has been planned since the beginning of my project.
I will provide 4 fuses for the 4 outputs to have selectivity and abandoned my initial idea.
