Base Mounted Shunts Lightweight
Function:
Base Mounted Shunts Lightweight type available with a range from 5 to 1200 Amps DC. Standard output of either 50 mv DC or 100 mv DC available, or custom outputs are available as requested.
Base Mounted Shunts Lightweight 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: The advantages of DC instrument shunts are that they extend the range of ammeters whenever the current to be measured is too large to pass through the instrument.
This is usually for currents over 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.
Background:
The Crompton Instruments product range represents one of the largest product offerings of power measurement, control, and protection instrumentation. It serves switchgear and generator set manufacturers, panel builders and OEMs.
Crompton Instruments products offer proven reliability across a diverse array of industries including power generation, process control, test and measurement, utility, marine, defence, and energy management applications. We continually review and update our design and manufacturing processes to meet the challenges posed by ever-decreasing lead times and evolving industry developments.
By combining local knowledge with over 100 years of research, product development and manufacturing capabilities, Crompton Instruments products provide the highest standards of performance and user convenience.
Features:
- Accuracy +/- 0.25 %
- Extending measurement of currents beyond available limits of self-contained DC ammeters
- Output 50 mv DC or 100 mv DC or custom
Applications:
Approvals:
- We cannot approve DC shunts because they are not standalone units; users must use them with a meter.
TM Series Shunts
- None (DC Shunts cannot have any approval as they are not Stand Alone Units- they must be used together with a Meter)
