Victron Shunt 1000 A 50 mV Battery Monitor

The Victron Shunt 1000A - 50mV Battery Monitor

The shunt is required for current measuring devices with analog or digital display instruments, as these are usually realized by measuring a very small voltage across a shunt. In the case of Victron shunts 1000A – 6000A, it is 50mV.
The smaller the measuring voltage across the shunts, the lower the effects on the rest of the system's circuit.
At 50mV, this delivers an excellent value. The shunt is installed in the line with the current to be measured.

The small voltage drop across this resistor is evaluated with a measuring device such as the Victron Battery Monitor BMV 700, and values such as the current flow are derived and displayed.
You can find out whether you need a shunt for your display device in the instructions for the respective device.
