Precision Shunts - 20 to 50 Amp
- HIGHLY STABLE
- 0.01 % ACCURACY
- TO 50 AMPS
- LOW TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS
- DC AND AC USE
- RUGGED
The CS series precision current shunts are designed for demanding measurement applications. These shunts provide excellent long term stability and very low coefficients of temperature. Although designed for laboratory use, they are rugged enough to be installed in environments subject to wide variations in temperature and to vibration or shock.
The CS-20 and CS-50 exhibit close ac conformance to dc values. AC/DC difference is less than 0.02 % at 20 kHz.
The temperature coefficient of resistance is less than 5 ppm / °C.
Connection is made via high quality, gold plated binding posts, which accept bare wire, banana plugs and spades. A unique feature of these binding posts is the freely rotating lower part of the barrel, which prevents damage to wires.
Standard 20 and 50 amp models are listed, but other Amp/Volt combinations are available. This housing style is recommended for power (I2R) up to 25 watts.
For the highest accuracy standards for current measurement, please see information on our MCS Multiple Current Shunt. For low resistance standards, please see information on our 2000 Series Low Resistance Standards. For economical low resistance standards, please see our 1000 Series Working Shunts.
All shunts are supplied with ISO 17025 accredited, NIST traceable calibration at 25, 50 and 100 % rated current.
