DC Ammeter Shunts – Design Considerations

Design Considerations

When trying to find the correct shunt rating to specify for a given application, there are four things to take into account:

A) Duty – continuous, intermittent or surge

B) Ambient – elevated temperature or high altitudes

C) Temperature rise – normal or limited

D) Environment – grouped, enclosed, forced air

Or any combination of A through D

Although each of these conditions will be considered separately, any combination of them may exist in a specific case. When this happens it will be necessary to use more than one of the A through D sections to arrive at the correct rating.
