Product Specifications

Electrical Specifications

  • Continuous Current Rating: 6000 A
  • Rated Output: 50 mV @ 6000 A
  • Accuracy: Class 0.5 (±0.5%)
  • Resistance: 8.33 µΩ (0.00000833 Ω)
  • Full-Scale Voltage Drop: 50 mV

Power Dissipation & Heat Management: At high currents, the shunt generates substantial heat and must be installed in an area with adequate airflow.

  • Power Dissipation at 1000A: 8.3 W
  • Power Dissipation at 3000A: 75 W
  • Power Dissipation at 6000A: 300 W

Mechanical Specifications

  • Dimensions (L x W x H): 168 × 110 × 48.6 mm
  • Weight: Approximately 5.1 kg
  • Main Terminals: 5 × M10 heavy-current connection points
  • Sense Terminals: 2 × M4 screws
  • Hardware Included: Six M10 × 70 mm studs
  • Mounting: Four additional M10 × 15 mm threaded mounting holes
  • Construction: Precision manganin resistive element with heavy solid copper terminal blocks

Key Features

  • 5×M10 Terminal Design: Features multiple heavy-duty connection points to support parallel battery cables and direct busbar mounting, which reduces connection resistance and cable stacking.
  • Precision Calibration: Factory laser-trimmed to ensure Class 0.5 accuracy for critical battery management.
  • Low Voltage Loss: The extremely low resistance of 8.33 µΩ minimizes power loss even when carrying thousands of amps.

Compatibility & Equipment
