Deltec Company 100 Amp Shunt 50mV for all meters
Deltec 100 Amp Shunt, 50mV for all meters 100 amp-100 mV Shunt: For systems with maximum current 75 amps continuous with no overloads, or 50 amps continuous with overload to 100 amps for 8 seconds max. These are suitable for small systems, or for most applications where you want to measure only solar or wind input current. It allows "amps" readings as low as 0.01 amps. These are suitable for use with TriMetric, Xantrex, Blue Sky, and all other monitors that require a 100 mv input (same as Blue Sky CS-100).
The terminal blocks on the shunts are made of high quality brass to allow proper heat dissipation and provide strong support for the entire shunt. The resistance blades are made from manganin shunt metal for it's low temperature co-efficient, long term stability and strength. The manganin strips are soldered into slots in the brass terminal blocks with high quality solder to provide a strong, lasting bond. Where mounting bases are provided, high strength phenolic is used with mounting holes designed in for ease of use.
Deltec DC Ammeter shunts are designed to provide the highest Quality Performance possible while maintaining their rugged construction characteristics. The shunts are designed and calibrated at the factory to have standard accuracy of ± 1/4%.
The MK series of shunts are manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of MILS161B military specifications.
What is a shunt?
A shunt is just a very low resistance precision resistor that is wired in series with the load you want to measure. Essentially, it produces a small voltage that meters and monitors can read and convert to an Amp reading.
