Shunts

Shunts are the first choice for accurate measuring of current in DC installations. By measuring a standarized voltage-drop at a given input-current, the
actuel current can be displaied very accurate (accuracy class 0,5) e.g. with
a moving coil instrument. Our Shunts are robust, accurate, and easy to
mount.

Accuracy class 0,5

a moving coil instrument. Our Shunts are robust, accurate, and easy to

Our Shunts accord to the standards DIN and CEI. Using high-quality manganin for the Shunts assures a steady voltage drop for a long time and
under extreme conditions.
Standard voltage drops are 60mV and 150 mV. Shunts for 60mV can be
loaded to a maximum of 0,25 ohm. If this is insufficient, e.g. in case of a
long lead, Shunts of 150mV are recommended.

Ambient temperature:
Shunts are calibrated at 20C 10C. At this temperature the shunts meet
their accuracy class. Operating temperature: -20C to +60C. Shunts can
be overheated short-time up to 300C.
Installation:
Please consider the following instructions:
1. Shunts can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Horizontal mounting
allows a better heat dissipation.
2. The full connecting area must be in contact with the busbar.
3. The contact surfaces have to be clean.
4. Bolts and nuts must be fully tightened.
5. Sustain to get a good ventilation.
Shunts up to 25 A / 60 mV or 150 mV are delivered with insulating thermoplastic base.
Available special executions:
Covers are available for shunts up to 150A/60mV and 25A/150mV.
- Shunts 30A/ up to 800A/60mV or 150mV can also be delivered
with insulating thermoplastic base (additional charge).
- Shunts with non-standard voltage-drop or non-standard rated current.
- Shunts by customers requirements (if technically realisable).
- Shunts in accuracy class 0,2 or 0,1.
