DC Current Shunts<\/p><\/div>\n

DC Current Shunts expansion.<\/p>\n

Riedon<\/a>\u00a0has expanded its line of\u00a0 DC Current Shunts to include current ratings up to 10,000 amps.\u00a0 The RS series of off-the-shelf, base-mounted and bus-bar shunts now offers current ratings from 5 A to 10,000 amps and a number of mounting configurations to meet various installation requirements.\u00a0\u00a0 The RS series and now the RCS, RSH, RSI, RSJ, RSL, and RSN series still manages to combine low cost with the industry’s shortest lead-times, while Riedon’s custom design capability caters to unique requirements. These DC Current Shunts are targeted at applications in the renewable energy market, high capacity battery monitoring, and\u00a0heavy industry.<\/p>\n

Why Riedon DC Current Shunts?<\/h4>\n

The principle of current measurement using a shunt resistor depends on measuring the small voltage dropped across a precision resistor placed in series with the load. Riedon offers standard parts that provide 50 mV and 100 mV outputs, but can also provide custom output voltages. The very-low-resistance values required for shunt resistors, 10 m\u03a9 at 5 A and just 0.005 m\u03a9 at 10,000 A, are provided by Manganin\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0resistive elements. These are precision-etched to a standard tolerance of \u00b10.25%, while the RSN series features a tolerance of \u00b10.1%.\u00a0 Even tighter tolerances may be available, please contact the factory for further information.<\/p>\n

Riedon’s DC Current Shunts, RS range is divided into different families depending on current rating and mounting style.\u00a0 All feature a 4-terminal design, which separates the heavy-duty load carrying connections from the voltage-sensing terminals. Terminals blocks are either brass or copper depending on series and current rating.. Operation is specified over a temperature range of -40\u00b0C to +80\u00b0C with a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of \u00b115 ppm\/\u00b0C or better and a dielectric strength for base mounted models of of 750 VDC (terminal block to base).<\/p>\n
