Again, this is all kinda theoretical. I'd really like to check it all with an actual amp meter. After all, they note the 300mV on the output as a worst case.
I messed up again! (I'm starting to get used to this) I mean 3A, not 30A.

You're right according to the 20V/V spec on the datasheet, but the graph shows 100V/V.
(At 20mV input, it says there's a 2V output)

It appears this datasheet conflicts with itself.

EDIT:
Would you say a Fluke 179 would work for measuring current? Or would you prefer a 0.01 ohm current shunt with analog meter?
