Shunt & Battery Wires
The shunt is the current sensor for the Link 10. Its 500 A, 50 mV rating means that when 500 amps flows through it there is 50 mV generated across it. The millivolt signal is translated into an amps display in the Link
10.For example: a 50 A load would generate 5 mV across the shunt and would be displayed as 50 amps. Caution: in the diagram below, the darker wires represent primary wiring and should be able to carry full battery load current. Size appropriately!
