You are designing a current monitoring system for a chrome p

You are designing a current monitoring system for a chrome plating tank and will require 10,000 amperes.

You will utilize a precision shunt rated at 200 mV at 10,000 A.

You will connect the shunt to a precision high impedance 200 mV voltmeter.

What connection to the shunt must you use and why?

Solution

shunt is connected to the voltmeter parallal. because voltmeter always connected parallal to load and ammeter connected series to the load. if it connects in series it does not allow flow of current throw it due to high impedance.
