Shunt assemblies are a common way to protect sensitive electrical equipment. The shunt resistors are low-ohmic devices that carry a current between two points. These devices are connected in parallel with the load. The resistance of the shunt resistors is governed by Ohm's law. The following table outlines the basic characteristics of the different types of shunt resistors.
Shunt resistors can be surface-mounted, through-hole, or bolted to the chassis. Common types of leads include axial, gull-wing, and radial. In some cases, leads can be made with carbon film. Finely ground carbon is used for shunts. Regardless of the type, they are all effective in limiting electrical current. If the shunt is not working, it will not function properly.
Shunt resistors should be carefully placed in the circuit. They are usually placed as close to the ground as possible to protect the ammeter from excess common-mode voltage. However, leakage currents may bypass the shunt, causing the ammeter to display inaccurate results. Because leakage currents can be undetectable, it is imperative to ensure that the shunt resistors are isolated from the ground. If the shunts are ungrounded, an isolation amplifier must be used to protect the measurement instrument from the voltage.
Shunts are also used in electronic equipment, such as motors. These devices are often designed to protect transistors from overloading. This type of electrical device allows the motor to run at a high speed without overloading the controller. However, the dangers of over-loaded transistors are too great to be ignored. Shunts are a great option for this purpose. A shunt will protect your equipment and keep it safe.
A shunt will be connected to the negative terminal of your battery bank. You can find the negative terminal by following the negative lead from the battery to the fuse box or circuit. Use an ammeter that can handle the same mV levels as the shunt. Be sure to set the meter to the correct current type for the DC source. The meter must be calibrated with the proper current type to avoid any resulting damage.
