Victron 500A 50mV Shunt

Victron 500A/50mV Current Shunt – Precision Battery Monitoring Shunt

The 500A/50mV Current Shunt is a precision measurement component designed for accurate current sensing within DC battery monitoring systems. Engineered for use with external battery monitors, this shunt provides a calibrated voltage drop proportional to current flow, allowing compatible monitoring devices to calculate amp-hours consumed, state of charge and real-time power usage.

Constructed with a solid metal resistive element and heavy-duty connection studs, the shunt is designed for reliable operation in high-current marine, off-grid and vehicle electrical installations. Its simple, robust design makes it suitable for integration into custom battery monitoring systems where a standalone shunt is required without built-in electronics or Bluetooth connectivity.

Key Features:
• Precision 500A / 50mV calibrated current shunt
• Designed for use with external battery monitors
• High-current capability for inverter and house bank systems
• Solid metal construction for stable long-term accuracy
• Compact inline installation on battery negative cable

Technical Specifications:
Model: SHU500050100
Rated Current: 500A
Shunt Output: 50mV at full scale
Connection Stud Size: M10
Mounting: Inline negative bus installation
System Compatibility: Battery monitors using 50mV shunt input
Construction: High-stability resistive element with insulated base

Function & Operation:
Installed on the negative battery cable, the shunt measures total system current flow by producing a small, precise voltage drop. This signal is then read by an external battery monitor to determine power usage, charging current and battery performance without interrupting system operation.

Ideal For:
Custom battery monitoring setups, marine house banks, off-grid solar systems, inverter installations and high-current DC systems requiring accurate current measurement.

The 500A/50mV Current Shunt provides reliable, accurate current sensing for advanced battery monitoring systems, offering a simple and robust solution for measuring high-current DC power flow.
