Shunts Without Base
Switchboard Mounted Shunts (Shunts Without Base) type are available with a range from 15 to 3,000 DC Amperes. Standard Output of either 50 mv DC or 100 mv DC. These Shunts Without Base type offer high accuracy at +/ – 0.25% and are used in a variety of DC applications.
Typical applications include battery chargers, electroplating, heavy industry, mining, solar generators, and wind power.
Available options include Certificates of Calibration or Certificates of Conformance, if required.
Advantages of Direct current (DC) instrument shunts are that the units are used to extend the range of ammeters whenever the current to be measured is too large to be passed through the instrument–usually 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 which 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:
- DC applications
- Panel meters
- Rail
- Solar
- Switchboard

- None as DC Shunts cannot have any approval as they are not Stand Alone Units- they must be used together with a Meter
