What is a shunt?

The shunt is used to measure DC current;

The shunt is actually a resistor with a small resistance value. When there is current passing through, a voltage drop will be generated, which is displayed by the DC ammeter;

The DC ammeter is actually a voltmeter with a full scale value of 75mV;

DC ammeter and shunt are used together;

For example: the resistance value of the shunt matched with the 100A ammeter is 0.00075 ohms;

That is, 100A*0.00075Ω=75mV;

The resistance value of the shunt matched with the 50A ammeter is 0.0015 ohm;

50A*0.0015Ω=75mV.
