Victron Shunt 500A/50mV
- Brand:
- Victron Energy
- Part no:
- SHU500050100
Where to buy
This Victron shunt is rated 500A with a 50 mV voltage drop, the smallest size in a range that runs up to 6000A. Shunts like it are used to measure current accurately in high-power DC systems. Every shunt in the range has a 50 mV drop and M10 terminals, so those two details are the same on this one as on the 6000A version. The range spans 500A to 6000A, and this model sits at the 500A end.
Our take
This is the 500A end of a range that runs to 6000A, with the same 50 mV voltage drop and M10 terminals as the larger shunts, so confirm your cable ends suit M10 terminals before fitting it.
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.
