Blue Sea - 8255 Digital Meter Shunt 500A/50mV

The Essential DC Shunt for Accurate Current Measurement

Introducing the DC Shunt, a vital component that works in conjunction with DC ammeters to accurately measure and monitor electrical currents in a circuit. This shunt is specifically designed to divert a portion of the current flowing through the circuit, enabling the ammeter to display an accurate reading.

With its tailored design for DC systems, the DC Shunt provides reliable current measurement capabilities, ensuring precise monitoring of electrical currents. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your electrical system.

To ensure optimal performance and prevent overheating, it is recommended to operate the shunt at no more than two-thirds (66%) of its rated current under normal conditions. By following this precaution, you can maintain the longevity and accuracy of the shunt's current measurement over prolonged periods of continuous operation.
