Victron Shunt 1000A/50mV, 2x M10 (SHU102050200)

Brand:
Victron Energy
Part no:
SHU102050200

Where to buy

A Victron Energy shunt rated 1000A with a 50 mV voltage drop, used to measure current accurately in high-power DC systems. It has two M10 terminals for the cable connections. Victron's shunts in this range come in sizes from 500A to 6000A, all with a 50 mV drop and M10 terminals. The part number is SHU102050200. It is a measuring part, not a battery or a charger.

Our take

Rated at 1000A with a 50 mV drop, this shunt is for measuring current in high-power DC systems. The two M10 terminals are what the cables bolt to, so any lugs you use need M10 holes.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
