Dc shunts 5AMP
DC Shunts are separately mounted units used for extending measurement of currents beyond the available limits of self-contained DC ammeters. Due to the heat build up, and subsequent meter "melt-down", self-contained meters (internal shunts) seldom exceed 0-50 DC amps. In actual usage, few meters are sold for direct DC amperage input with almost universal usage of DC shunts. Shunts are offered as a ratio of DC current input to 0-50 or 100 mv dc output.
