Aug When purchasing or specifying an ammeter resistor for traditional or emerging roles, care should be taken that the shunt resistors exactly meet. Feb This is the underlying principle behind the current shunt.
One solution to this problem is to purchase another high rated ammeter or a clamp. The main purpose of a current shunt in calibration is to measure a high.
The purpose of ammeter is to measure the rate of current flowing. A shunt (aka a current shunt resistor or an ammeter shunt ) is a high precision resistor which can be used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. Nov If large currents are being measure ammeters typically need an extra resistance called a shunt fitted in parallel with their terminals.
