Shunt resistor

Shunts are used to analogously measure the current level. With a low resistive shunt resistor connected in parallel in a circuit with a voltmeter, a small voltage drop is measured across the shunt indicating the current level. The shunt is well suited to be connected to the Atto D4 DC meter.

The margin of error is classified as 0,5 % with 60 mV or 100 mV voltage drop.
The shunt, with 60 mV voltage drop, is available in 10 A and 25 A versions with insulating plastic base, while 50 A and 100 A are without plastic base. All models comply with the DIN43703 standard. On request, models from 1 A to 15 000 A and 100 mV voltage drop are available.
