Bourns has expanded its line of Riedon industrial shunt resistors with six new model types. The new products feature superior current handling capabilities that meet accurate current measurement requirements. Precise measurements are necessary in applications including battery management systems, solar inverters, welding equipment, heat-treating equipment, battery chargers, power supplies, cathodic protection rectifiers, marine and mobile accessories.
The new models are available with panel and busbar mounting options. Model RSN and RS Series shunts are panel mount products with a current handling capacity from 1 to 1200 A, resistance values from 0.0417 to 100 milliohms and tolerances from 0.25 to 1 per cent. The Model RSH, RSI, RSJ and RSW are designed for direct mounting to busbars with a current capacity from 5 to 6000 A, resistance values from 0.025 to 10 milliohms and tolerances of 0.25 per cent.
Riedon industrial shunt resistors use low-resistance Manganin as their resistive material.
