VDO AcquaLink Ammeter Shunt

The VDO AcquaLink Ammeter Shunt is an essential component for accurate electrical current measurement. It works on the shunt principle, where a small resistor induces a minor voltage drop. This voltage drop, measured in millivolts (mV), is directly proportional to the current in amperes (A) flowing through the resistor. The voltage drop is then measured by an ammeter, which translates it into the actual current value.

Shunts offer significant advantages, especially in high-current applications (greater than 10A), as they eliminate the need for thick wires. By connecting two thin wires from the meter to the shunt, placed in the ground connection of the main system, you can accurately measure the total current flow, improving the overall efficiency of the electrical system on your yacht.

Key Features:
- Shunt Principle: A small resistor creates a proportional voltage drop that correlates to the current.
- Current Measurement: Measures the voltage drop across the shunt, translating it into the actual current value.
- Advantages of Shunt: Reduces the need for thick wiring, ideal for high-current applications.
