The solution was to set up the highest data Rate of ADS1115. In the documentation of powerUC the author is also describing that a higher sample rate is necessary

void setup() {
// ... 
ads1.setGain(GAIN_TWO);
ads2.setGain(GAIN_TWO);
ads1.setDataRate(RATE_ADS1115_860SPS);
ads2.setDataRate(RATE_ADS1115_860SPS);
// ...
}

Quote of official Doc of powerUC:

If you use a component with SCT013 with ±1V RMS output and ADS1115, the required code is similar to the code we see in >the input to the ADS1115. You need to consult the Adafruit library for ADS1115.

In order to sample the ADS1115 at a higher speed, we need to modify the file, ‘Adafruit_ADS1015.h’.

With this modification, we will be able to reduce the sampling time from about 8-9 milliseconds (about 100 hertz) to about >1.8 milliseconds (about 500 hertz). As we leave the Nyquist frequency, we improve the measurement behavior.
