Hello All,

i wanted to switch off a load when the current limit is reached. The current measured via a current sensor (ACS711KLCTR-25AB-T) and its fault like is active low. So based on that i came up with this schematic. Can somebody please correct me if anything is missing ? The load would be inductive and resistive.

Here L1 connects the LIVE side of the load and gate from the TRIAC is connect to the FAULT pin (Ft1) on the current sensor. i wouldn't excluding the TRIAC but is it ok allow overcurrent through the pins on ACS711 ?

 

You may want to include a R/C snubber across the triac.
Max.

 

Thanks. Other than that is the connection correct ?
