Electrical Current Shunt

摘要

A distributed current shunt circuit evenly divides one large shunt into a number of parallel connected, smaller shunts, each having the same resistance value. With proper electronics such as an instrumentation amplifier for each shunt, an operational amplifier, and precision resistors, the device measures the total current by adding or averaging voltage readings of these small shunts.
