I currently have an ACS-712 (5A) (ACS-712 Datasheet), a Hall sensor for measuring current. In my project I'm running a dc brushed motor RS-550 (for maximum 30 seconds) that has an average current of 4.5A, but it happens that for very few seconds that it reaches 8A (not more).
Since I don't have the need to obtain a precise current measurement, my question is: Can the ACS-712 (5A) tolerate a current that peaks to 8A for very few seconds. I would like to not destroy/burn anything. Thanks
