Bourns extends line of industrial shunt resistors

Bourns adds six new models to its line of Riedon industrial shunt resistors for a range of applications, including renewable energy.

Bourns, Inc. has expanded its line of Riedon industrial shunt resistors with the release of six new models. These new precision shunts claim superior current handling capabilities that meet accurate current measurement requirements for a range of applications including battery management systems (BMS), solar inverters, welding equipment, heat-treating equipment, battery chargers, power supplies, cathodic protection rectifiers, and marine and mobile accessories.

The new industrial shunt resistor models are available with panel and busbar mounting options. They all offer a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 80 °C.

The Riedon Model RSN and RS Series shunts are panel-mount products. They offer a current handling capacity from 1 A to 1,200 A, resistance values from 0.0417 milliohms to 100 milliohms and tolerances from 0.25 percent to 1 percent.

The Riedon Model RSH, RSI, RSJ and RSW Series shunts are designed for direct mounting to busbars. Key specs include a current capacity from 5 A to 6,000 A, resistance values from 0.025 milliohms to 10 milliohms and tolerances of 0.25 percent.

All Riedon industrial shunt resistors incorporate low-resistance Manganin as their resistive material. They feature center-mounted voltage taps that streamline and simplify systems, Bourns said.

All six new model types are available now. They are RoHS compliant.
