Shunts, Jumpers and their Application Field and Working Principle

Shunts and jumpers have a wide range of applications in the electrical engineering world. They are often used to re-direct electrical current, jump connections or re-route signals. Jumpers and shunts are two very similar but very different components and each have their own unique purpose.

Shunt

A shunt is defined as a conductive element which is connected in parallel with two different points in an electrical circuit, or in a power system, to divert or pass a fraction or portion of the present to another destination with little or no resistance. This is done by having two electrically conductive contact points, which are usually connected by a suitably dimensioned conductor, connected in parallel across which the current is diverted. The shunt can be used to divert a portion of the current in order to protect other components in the circuit from excessive current flowing through them.The shunt is a passive element, so it does not require any power to operate. Instead, it relies on the current already present in the circuit to divert a portion of the current. Shunts are normally placed in the circuit as close as possible to the component it is meant to protect.

Jumpers

Jumpers are similar to shunts in that they are designed to redirect current. However, instead of being placed in parallel with the existing components as a shunt does, a jumper is typically placed in series. A jumper consists of two terminals which are connected by some sort of wire, usually copper. This connection provides a low-resistance path for electric current to flow through. This is most often used to reduce the resistance of the electrical circuit, which can help improve the performance of the circuit.Jumpers can also be used to bridge gaps in a circuit, which is important for the correct operation of the circuit. For example, in a circuit where a control voltage is sent to a switch, if the switch itself is broken, then a jumper can be used to bridge the gap between the two ends of the switch and ensure that the control voltage is sent to the correct location.

Application Field

Shunts and jumpers are widely used in a variety of industries and applications. Shunts are most often used in electrical engineering applications to redirect or protect components from exceeding their rated current. Shunts are also commonly used in power systems and industrial settings as current diversion units.Jumpers are mainly used in electronics for bridging the gaps in a circuit or for connecting two components together. They are also useful for creating "short circuits" (that is, low-resistance pathways) or increasing the resistance of a circuit. Jumpers are also commonly used in telecommunications networks.

Working Principle

A shunt works based on Ohm\'s law, which states that the current in a circuit is proportional to the voltage, and inversely proportional to the resistance. This means that if the resistance is increased, the current is diverted. A shunt has two contacts which are arranged in parallel with each other. When current passes through these contacts, a portion of it is diverted to the shunt and away from the component it is meant to protect. This current is typically a fraction of the total current and is referred to as the “shunt current”.Jumpers work on a different principle than shunts. Instead of diverting a portion of the current, they provide a path with lower resistance. This decreases the overall resistance of the circuit, and thus allows more of the current to pass through it. In most cases, the resistance of the jumper is much lower than the resistance of the components it is connecting. This allows the current to flow more easily from one end to the other, improving the performance of the circuit.
