Base Mounted Shunts Switchboard
Function:
Base Mounted Shunts Switchboard type are available with a range from 1 to 500 DC Amps. Standard Output of either 50 mv DC or 100 mV DC are available or custom outputs available as requested.
Base Mounted Shunts Switchboard type offer high accuracy at +/- 0.25 % and are very lightweight at 0.6 lbs each.
Where are they Used ?
Typical applications include battery chargers, electroplating, heavy industry, mining, solar generators, and wind power.
Options:
Available options include Certificates of Calibration or Certificates of Conformance, if required.
Advantages:
DC instrument shunts extend the range of ammeters whenever the current to be measured is too large. This occurs when the current exceeds 50 amperes. The DC shunt, therefore, is a diverter which is used to “shunt” the majority of the current around the indicating instrument. Essentially, the DC shunt is a specially-designed resistor. It delivers a millivolt output (to a millivolt meter or instrument) in proportion to the current flowing through the resistor.

Features:
- Accuracy +/- 0.25 %
- Extending measurement of currents beyond available limits of self-contained DC ammeters
- Output 50 mv DC or 100 mv DC
Applications:
Approvals:
- DC shunts do not receive approvals because they are not standalone units; they must be used with a meter.
FN Series Shunts
- None (DC Shunts cannot have any approval as they are not Stand Alone Units- they must be used together with a Meter)
