Shunt (electrical)

A shunt is a device designed to provide a low-impedance path for an electrical current in a circuit. It is typically used to divert current away from a system or component in order to prevent overcurrent. Electrical shunts are used in a wide variety of applications including power distribution systems, electrical measurement systems, automotive and…
