Shunt Assembly for Energy Meters
Available
SHUNT is precision element for the energy meter which works in all kinds of electrical meter as power measure.
- The Shunt resistor is used as a key part of the measuring device inside the electronic ammeter
- The EBW type shunt gives precise measurement. It also helps to save cost of the production process and material
PML Shunt Assembly Properties:
- Material: Resistance Alloy of Cu (84-87%), Manganese (9-12%) and Ni (2-4%)
- Welding Type: Electronic Beam welding
- PML designs EB welded Shunts or full Shunt assemblies as per Customers Specifications

Process Flow for SHUNTS:
- Selection of copper & Resistance Alloy as per the customer drawing.
- EB Welding
- Inspection and testing
- Punching
- Assembly with terminals if required by customer
- Packing and dispatch
Tooling and Stamping:
Specialized tools are made for lowest wastage and high productivity to achieve lower operational costs.PML also manufactures customized design suited to the application which includes a complete Resistance Alloy shunt & assembly, EB welded shunt & assembly, Copper – Resistance Alloy welded shunt assembly etc along with brass terminals.
Inspection & Testing:
- The inspection is done as per the 0.65 % AQL sampling plan.
- Testing of electrical resistance is carried out on high precision µΩ meter
- The lowest resolution of the meter is 0.1 µΩ
