The term may describe either congenital or acquired shunts; and acquired shunts (sometimes referred to as iatrogenic shunts) may be either biological or mechanical.
Current shunts are low resistance precision resistors used to. measure AC or DC electrical currents by the voltage drop those. currents create across the resistance. Sometimes called an. ammeter shunt, it is a type of current sensor. A wide range of precision shunts, designed for use with. kilowatt-hour meters and other high-current applications where. a high level of accuracy is required, is now available from.
