Current Sense / Shunts

Our official sales partner: Shivalik Bimetal Controls Ltd.

Shivalik Logo
Shivalik Bimetal Controls Ltd. specializes in bonding materials through processes such as diffusion bonding, cladding, electron beam bonding, soldering and resistance welding and offers a wide range of products for various industries.
Through this partnership, we can offer our customers access to a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies and products - from current sense resistors (also known as shunt resistors) for efficient energy measurement to customized solutions for industrial applications and consumer electronics.

Applications of current measuring resistors

Current measuring resistors (also known as shunt resistors ) are essential components for the precise measurement of electrical currents. Due to their low resistance value, they make it possible to determine the current based on the voltage drop according to Ohm's law U=R⋅IU = R \cdot I

These resistors are used in numerous areas, including industry, medical technology and automotive engineering. They are used for current monitoring in batteries, power supply units and motor controls as well as for energy and power monitoring in intelligent measuring systems.

Depending on the area of application, a distinction is made between on-board and off-board current measuring resistors. On-board resistors are integrated directly into electronic systems, while off-board resistors are mounted externally to safely measure higher currents and efficiently dissipate heat.

Function and use of current measuring resistors in measurement technology

A current measuring resistor is a special resistor that is used to precisely measure electrical currents. It works according to a simple principle: when current flows through it, a small voltage drop occurs that is directly proportional to the current. This voltage can be measured and used to determine the current. It is crucial that the resistance is very low in order to keep the energy loss low.

In many applications such as battery management systems, power electronics or industrial control systems, a high-quality current measuring resistor ensures accurate and reliable measurement. Rotima AG offers solutions that are perfectly tailored to your requirements. By using high-quality materials and precise manufacturing techniques, we guarantee exact values and long-term stability.

A current measuring resistor is therefore more than just a component - it is a crucial component for efficient energy monitoring and process control.
