Product design
The T&M A series uses a stud current input and coaxial signal output. Installation involves the input connection, body mounting and output cable. Connector options can affect the mechanical arrangement and should be checked against the drawing.
Measurement and application
A shunt converts current into a voltage signal for measurement equipment. Selection involves its position in the current path as well as the arrangement of the voltage sensing connections.
Selection and connections
Consider whether the task involves continuous operation or pulse testing, then confirm mounting, connection space and instrument interface. Sensing connections, thermal conditions and circuit layout should follow the instructions for the chosen model.
