Shunt Resistors

CTS shunt resistors are precision Cu-Mn resistors. They consist of a copper busbar with hole terminals for easy installation.These shunts are designed for precision current measurement with high thermal stability in instruments, industrial, and automotive applications.

 

Detect Voltage Change, Instantly

A shunt is a low-resistance resistor that is placed in an electrical current to detect a measurable voltage drop. This drop is directly proportional to the current that is flowing. These components are an important piece in current sensing devices as they are directly involved in the measurement of the electrical current. These shunts are an excellent choice for high-powered designs.
