Product design
The T&M K series uses bolted flange current connections. Confirm its body and mounting requirements against the K series drawing. Allow connection and service access in equipment or a test bench and assess operating conditions with the chosen cooling configuration.
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.
