The shunt is the current sensor for the
Link 1000
. Its 500A 50mV
rating means that when 500 Amps flows through it there is 50mV
generated across it. The millivolt signal is translated into an Amps
display in the meter. For example: A 50A load would generate 5mV
across the shunt and would be displayed as
-50
Amps. Caution: In
the diagram below, the darker wires represent primary wiring and
should be able to carry full battery load current. Size appropriately!
