DC Ammeter Shunts
Custom shunts are available in any Amperage and Millivolt rating.
We are able to certify any make of shunt to an uncertainty of ± 0.1% traceable to N.R.C., N.I S.T., S.I.
Our LA, LB and LC shunts are built to U.S. Military Specification
A-A-55524
which supersedes MIL-S-61B.
We can supply Calibrated Leads (0.065 Ohms), 5 feet long, for connecting shunts to analog panel meters.
