D3083-01

Shunts and jumpers are a type of electrical connector designed for use in circuits. The D3083-01 shunt is a special type of shunt designed specifically for use in high-voltage applications. The D3083-01 has a rated voltage of 1500 V max. and a current rating of 100 A.

The purpose of a shunt or jumper is to provide an alternative path for electrical current to flow, usually in place of a circuit breaker or fuse. In the case of the D3083-01, it is used to connect a high-voltage source to a load, thereby providing a direct path for electrical current to flow from the source to the load. The shunt is connected to both the source and the load by means of a screw-type terminal block.

The design of the D3083-01 shunt is unique compared to other shunts, as it uses a movable metal plate that rotates on its axis to provide an evenly distributed current flow. This is known as a “scissor-type” design, and it reduces the risk of arcing or sparking due to uneven current flow. The plate also acts as a thermal sensor, and will automatically disconnect the power supply when the temperature reaches a certain limit.

The working principle of the D3083-01 shunt is based on a principle called Faraday’s Law. Faraday’s Law states that an electric current is produced when a conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic field. In the case of the D3083-01, a changing magnetic field is produced when the movable metal plate rotates, and this produces the electric current. The current then flows from the source to the load.

The D3083-01 shunt is designed for a wide range of applications, including power supplies, lighting, and industrial control systems. It is often used as an alternative to fuses and circuit breakers, as it provides a more reliable and consistent current flow. The shunt can also be used to connect two separate circuits in order to regulate and control current flow.

In summary, the D3083-01 shunt is a unique device designed for use in high-voltage applications. It uses a scissor-type design to optimize current flow, and is based on Faraday’s Law. The shunt is suitable for a wide range of applications, including power supplies, lighting, and industrial control systems.
