Mucha Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I have just finished making a +&-1.2 -11V power supply and i am having problems connecting my analogue ameter as i calculated the value of the shunt resistor it came to about 0.0492Ohms what other means can i make this work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indulis Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 What are you trying to measure?? If you have an ammeter, why do need a shunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi Mucha,Welcome to our forum.I would use a power resistor as a shunt; one example here:http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/setpage.pl?http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=en&dok=9320.htmThe resistor item number 60-619-07 is 0.05 Ohms and will work fine as a shunt. If you like to “fine-tune” the value you can parallel it with a standard resistor but I don’t think it’s necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
