Shunts, Jumpers

The BTMM-111-01-T-S shunt is one of many common types of shunts and jumpers used in various applications. It is a two-pole, low voltage, solid state shunt suitable for use on low voltage DC circuits. It is typically used to provide a current path to either measure or acquire current data in applications such as automotive, industrial, medical, instrumentation, robotic, and similar ones.

Application Field

The BTMM-111-01-T-S shunt is designed primarily for use as an electrical current switch. It is used in applications such as motor control, solid-state control systems, signal conditioning, current and voltage measurement, and similar ones. The shunt is also ideal for detecting when a circuit breaker has tripped and resetting it. It is also used as part of a circuit breaker test station, enabling the monitoring of the output current without having to manually measure the current.

Working Principle

The BTMM-111-01-T-S shunt works on a principle of electrical conduction. It is constructed from two pieces of metal, with one being a solid metal bar and the other being a metal oxide layer. When the two pieces of metal are connected, a current will flow from one to the other. This results in the flow of current being blocked or regulated by the resistance of the metal oxide layer. The current will then flow through the shunt and be measured or monitored by an electrical meter.

The amount of current flowing through the shunt depends on a number of factors, including the type of metal used, the temperature, the pressure, and the resistance of the metal oxide layer. As the current passes through the shunt, it is also converted from DC to AC, which is necessary to accurately measure and monitor the current in applications such as motor control and instrumentation.

Conclusion

The BTMM-111-01-T-S shunt is a two-pole, low voltage, solid state shunt designed for use in a variety applications. It provides a current path to measure or acquire current data in applications such as motor control, solid-state control systems, signal conditioning, current and voltage measurement, and similar ones. The shunt works on a principle of electrical conduction by passing current through a metal oxide layer, and it can be used to detect and reset circuit breakers or as part of a circuit breaker test station.
