Shunts – Current measurements using a resistor

Today, practically every control and monitoring circuit uses shunt-based current measurements as the easy and cost effective alternative to sensor solutions. To achieve measuring results with the demanded accuracy, it is useful to understand how shunts work. Since the method is classed as a precision measuring technology it should not be regarded as a trivial task.
