A wide range of high quality current shunts from 5A to 50,000A with 0.25% accuracy specification for most models and optional 0.1% on request.   The range is available in single or multi element configurations, with and without mounting base.   DC current shunts produce a voltage (mV) proportional to the current flowing through the device, industry standard mV models are available, the mV/A relationship can also be specified by the user.  Mechanically the current shunts are robust, constructed with low temperature coefficient manganin sense elements, designed to withstand over-current, over-temperature and mechanical stresses.  As standard and where applicable, the shunts are supplied with high quality brass connection hardware, brass sense terminal screws.   Anti-corrosive/anti-tarnishing agents are applied to help maintain good electrical contact, if requested, an optional silvered flash finish can be applied.   Traceable calibration test certificates to NRC (Canada), NIST (USA) and SI (Systeme International) and statements of conformance are available on request.
