Shunts and Jumpers

The 09330009822 application field is an important segment of the electrical engineering world. It is associated with the use of an electrical device to connect two points in a circuit, as in the case of a shunt or jumper. This electrical device’s main functions are to carry electrical current, provide an insulation layer between two conductors and prevent an electrical short circuit. In addition to these, there are other essential applications of shunts and jumpers, such as in temperature sensing, power supply regulation, and motor protection applications.

A shunt is an electrical device consisting of two terminals connected by a conducting material, usually copper. A physical or metallic link is used to provide the electrical current from one circuit to another. The two terminals of the shunt are usually connected in parallel to the main power line, so that whatever current is going through the main power line is diverted through the shunt. By diverting the current through the shunt, it is possiblemeasure the current that is running through the main power line. This measurement can be used for safety or for diagnostic purposes.

A jumper is composed of a wire or other conductor that is used to connect terminals of an electrical circuit and make a connection between them. They are used to make short connections or bypass components without the need to make long wiring connections. The jumper can be used to connect electrical circuits on printed circuit boards or in wiring applications. The jumper can also be used to temporarily bridge connections without the need for soldering.

Each type of shunt and jumper has its own applications and working principles. For instance, the common wire wound resistive shunt is used in power current and voltage measurements. This type of shunt consists of a wire that is wound around a metal core, and the number of turns and type of wire determine the resistance of the shunt. Another type of shunt is the multilayer shunt, which is a compact version of the wire wound type. This type of shunt consists of several layers of carbon slabs. The resistance of each layer can be adjusted in order to obtain the desired resistance value.

In terms of jumpers, a few types are available as well. One type of jumper is just a short wire with insulated coating, and can be used to connect terminals without any soldering. Then there are insulated bus bar jumpers, which are larger than the wire type, but provide the same function. Another type of jumper is the flexible solid state jumper, which is usually an insulated sheet of a flexible metallic material. These flexible jumpers are usually used in temperature sensing and power supply regulation applications.

Shunts and jumpers are essential components of any electrical device. They are used to make the correct and secure connections in our electrical systems. Understanding the working principles of each type of shunt and jumper can help us determine which type of component is best suited for our device and application.
