DC Shunt Resistor An Essential Component for Precise Current Measurement (1)
A DC shunt resistor is a vital component in electrical circuits, designed to enable precise current measurement. By providing a parallel path for a known fraction of current to flow, it diverts a portion away from the load without disrupting the circuit's integrity. This unassuming yet indispensable device finds applications in various industries, ensuring accurate current sensing in power distribution, motor control, battery charging, and precision instrumentation. Understanding the function and selection criteria of DC shunt resistors empowers engineers.
