Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shunt technology, specifically a manganese copper shunt with a protective device. Background Technology
[0002] A shunt is used to measure direct current. It is made based on the principle that a voltage is generated across a resistor when a direct current passes through it. A shunt is essentially a resistor with a very small resistance. When a direct current flows through it, a voltage drop is generated, which is displayed on a DC ammeter. A DC ammeter is actually a voltmeter, and the ammeter and shunt are used together. Manganese-copper shunts are mainly used for voltage and current sampling in various instruments, especially in electronic energy meters. The voltage generated by the voltage drop across the manganese-copper resistive element of the shunt powers the energy meter's measurement sampling. It offers high accuracy and wide applicability.
[0003] Manganese-copper shunts are precision resistive elements used in high-level metering instruments such as voltage, current, bridge, potentiometers, and others. They are particularly suitable for manufacturing standard resistors for reference applications. Manganese-copper shunts (manganese-copper sampling resistors) are widely used in various digital energy meters as energy measurement elements, and they are made from manganese-copper precision resistance alloy materials. Manganese-copper shunts are generally used with ammeters, which are connected in parallel across the shunt. The main parameters of the shunt are the rated measured current and the corresponding millivolt rating. In the energy meter industry, manganese-copper shunts are generally used with energy metering chips. Currently, the positive and negative analog input pins of the current channel of metering chips from major manufacturers use a fully differential input method. The maximum input voltage Vpp under normal operation is ±1000mV, and the maximum withstand voltage is ±6V.
[0004] Most existing manganese-copper shunts lack external protective structures, making them prone to dust infiltration or damage to their external structure. They also have poor insulation and are inconvenient for maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to design corresponding technical solutions to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content
