A wide range of precision shunts, designed for use with kilowatt-hour meters and other high-current applications where a high level of accuracy is required, is now available from Microhm Electronics. 
 

 

Current shunts are low resistance precision resistors used to measure AC or DC electrical currents by the voltage drop those currents create across the resistance. Sometimes called an ammeter shunt, it is a type of current sensor.

 

The interchangeable shunts (FL) are used to multiply the measuring range of measuring instrument and designed for PCB and busbar mounting, are manufactured from electron beam welded copper and manganin, and have low temperature coefficients. Featuring low inductance values, shunts FL series can handle permanent currents of up to 10000A at voltage 75mV.  
 

 

The FL Series is available in bulk packaging and is RoHS compliant and lead free. For non-standard technical requirements and special applications, contact us with your specific needs.
