Shunt
Shunt Resistor for Current Measurement
- Current Measurement
- A shunt resistor diverts a portion of high current, allowing precise measurement by detecting the voltage drop across it.
- Commonly used with ammeters or testing equipment for accurate current monitoring.
- Current Limiting
- In certain circuits, a shunt helps protect sensitive components by preventing excessive current flow that could damage equipment.
Key Features
- High Precision
- Made from low-resistance metal to ensure measurement accuracy and stability.
- High Current Endurance
- Designed to withstand large current flows without degradation.
- Versatile Design
- Available in various sizes and specifications, suitable for different current ranges and environments.
Applications
- Power Testing & Analysis: Used for measuring high-current circuits.
- Electronic Devices: Helps monitor or limit current in electrical circuits.
- Industrial Equipment: Ensures precise current monitoring in large-scale power systems.
