 Posted: Fri May 22, 2015 4:40 pm Post subject: Alternator Shunt |
 |
|
I have added a 40 amp alternator to my airplane / engine and would like to reverse the flow thru the shunt since it is bolted in place and would be inconvenient to relocate.
I am fairly sure it just has a built in resistor for measuring the drop across it so it should be O.K. I have changed the high side of the amp meter read out to the new inlet.
Am I safe to ass u me this is o.k.?

Sure. A standard ammeter shunt is a special resistor that drops 50 milli-volts at rated current. So, you've got the idea, swap the current terminals, swap the voltage terminals then. You're back in business.
