Shunts Without Base

Function:

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.

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 for the instrument to handle, typically exceeding 50 amperes. Accordingly, the DC shunt acts as a diverter, shunting 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.

Background:

The Crompton Instruments product range represents one of the largest product offerings of power measurement, control, and protection instrumentation, for 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 of ever-decreasing lead times and 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

Applications:

• DC applications
• Panel meters
• Rail
• Solar
• Switchboard

Approvals:

• DC shunts do not receive approvals because they are not standalone units; they must be used with a meter.
