What is a Shunt Resistor?


Shunt resistance definition


A shunt resistor is a high-precision resistor that uses a very low ammeter resistance to measure the flow of current through a circuit. It is the resistance of a conductor in parallel with a circuit. Because of its particularity, it is generally used in precision electronic products. The smaller the resistance value of the shunt resistance, the more obvious the shunt effect.


Shunt resistance characteristic


  • Good structure

  • High stability


Resistance value precision is accurate


  • Small size for easy installation

  • High temperature resistance, low noise

  • Good safety performance

  • Good weldability


Shunt resistor application range


  • Communication system

  • Electronic complete machine

  • Automatic control of the power loop as current limiting

  • Flow equalization or sampling detection
