Description

Ram Meter Inc. DC (direct current) instrument shunts 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. Therefore the shunt is a diverter which is used to “shunt” the majority of the current around the indicating instrument. The shunt is essentially a specially designed resistor which delivers a millivolt output (to a millivolt meter or instrument) in proportion to the current flowing through the resistor.
