A DC shunt is a device used in electrical circuits to measure current by producing a voltage drop proportional to the current flowing through it. It consists of a low-resistance resistor connected in parallel with the load, through which the current to be measured passes. The voltage drop across the shunt resistor is then measured and used to calculate the current using Ohm's law (I = V/R).
A range of FL shunts are available to measure DC currents and provide a proportional 50~100mV DC output to safely drive a moving coil instrument, overload protection, or other control device. The DC shunts are accurate to class 0.01~1.0 and are suitable for all DC monitoring applications. The DC manganin shunts have brass ends and measure currents from 1A to 1000A.
