A U-type SHUNT is an electrical component used primarily in power systems to measure DC voltage and current, and to distribute current. The U-shunt is usually made of copper strips and has a "U" shape, and its structure and shape make it widely used in power systems.

1. Measure the current

One of the most common uses of U-shunt is to measure current. In a power system, high currents need to be measured to ensure the safe operation of the system. Usually, this is done by keeping a large current flowing, but relying on other ways to measure smaller current values. The current is passed through a strip of copper in a U-shaped shunt so that the current value can be diverted to an ammeter for measurement.

2. Measure the voltage

In addition to measuring current, U-shunt can also be used to measure voltage. By inserting a U-shunt into the circuit and measuring the voltage drop, the voltage value can be measured and used for system analysis and control.

3. High current measurement

U-shunt can also be used for high current measurement. U-diverters of different sizes and materials can be used for different applications. In high voltage power systems, where high currents need to be measured, the U-shunt can also be used in such situations to ensure the normal operation and safe operation of the system.

4. Shunt current

U-shunt can also be used to divert current. For example, if electricity needs to be transmitted to two different circuits, the current can be distributed by diverting it into different circuits through a U-shaped shunt.

5. Battery test

The U-shunt can also be used for battery testing. By connecting the U-shunt to the battery, the output current and voltage of the battery can be measured to monitor the performance and condition of the battery.

In short, U-shunt is one of the common electrical components in power system and has a wide range of applications. It can be used to measure current and voltage, distribute current, and test battery performance. For different applications, we can choose the appropriate size and material of U-shaped diverter, in order to meet the needs of the system, to ensure the safety and normal operation of the system.
