Shunts

A shunt is a small and precise resistor that, installed in series with the current, will measure the voltage drop in the terminals. The current is then estimated, thanks to the voltage drop. You can then measure the quantity of power produced by your system. Here is a small table to help you decide which shunt is appropriate for you: Current (A) suggested shunt 70 amps and under 100 amps to 100 mV 400 amps and under 500 amps to 50 mV 900 amps and under 1000 amps to 100 mV
