Is mkV/A really correct?

[jai134]

I have a halleffect current sensor and I can set sensitivity depending on how many amps it is rated for. I am trying to understand how to use it with an Arduino Uno.

I dont understand the abbreviation mkV. 1 mkV is 1V isn't it?

I only did a basic search
https://www.google.com/search?q=Current+sensor+sensitivity+mkV
but the results I found like this one
https://www.electronicspecifier.com/products/sensors/current-sensors-provide-sensitivity-down-to-26-7mv-a
imply that the sensitivity is normally given in mV/A. I found this place that shows mkV/A instead
https://powerwatcher.net/documentation/
(which is the page you seem to have a screenshot of part of)
also specify the number in thousands, like 9000mkV/A with a max reading of 170A, which makes even less sense if mkV means milli * kilo which cancel each other out--at 9000V per amp that would be 170 * 9000 = 1,530,000V at max current!

So mkV cannot mean milli * kilo, cancelling out the whole unit modifier, leaving just the number and volts. It must mean something else not defined in the info I could find in a quick search, or it is a typo, or it is something that particular manufacturer chose to use differently from just about everyone else for whatever wierd reason they thought was cool.

Thank you! That confirms what I thought. I have to ask the man at Powerwatcher but it feels stupid to ask a man in Ukraine about text in a pdf.
