The Current Sampling Principle Of Manganese-copper Shunts And How To Measure Current Values

Copper Manganin Shunts are the core resistive components of electric energy meters. With the continuous development of the smart home industry, electronic energy meters have rapidly entered our lives. More and more households are beginning to use shunt-produced energy meters, which change the past method of electricity measurement, and, under the trend of smart grids, these energy meters produced by shunts have been widely popular in many countries.

The current sampling of electronic energy meters includes two forms: current transformer sampling and shunt resistor sampling. The measurement of the live line current is usually achieved using shunt resistor components, while the measurement of the neutral line current uses current transformer components. Based on electromagnetic knowledge and the characteristics of transformers, it can be known that the power frequency magnetic field has almost no effect on current transformers, but it causes a significant impact on shunts. Subsequently, by analyzing the influence of the magnetic field on the Electrical Meter Shunts, corresponding improvement methods can be explored.

The Relay Resistor Shunt actually is a resistor with a very low resistance value. When the load current passes through the shunt, a millivolt-level voltage will be generated on the resistance between the two leads. The magnitude of this voltage drop can be expressed by Ohm's Law and is related to the resistance of the shunt between the two leads. Thus, the same current flowing through shunts with different resistance values will result in different sampling effects. The sampled signal is transmitted to the energy meter through the sampling signal line. After passing through a first-order anti-aliasing filter, it is sent to the metering chip. The metering chip calculates the current value based on Ohm's law, thereby achieving the measurement of the current value.

The use of Energy Meter Shunts in electricity meters has been widely adopted by many national power grids. With the rapid development of smart grids and smart home industries, the market requirements for smart electricity meters have also been continuously enhanced. As the core component of smart meters, the shunt technology is also continuously improving. For example, many manufacturers in the resistor market have launched precision shunts. This new type of shunt product has significant advantages in low-drift design and high-precision current sampling, and can meet people's usage needs for smart electricity meters. It is believed that in the coming years, smart meters produced by precision shunts will be applied in more fields.

To meet the high-precision measurement requirements of smart electricity meters and smart grids, we have launched the Copper Manganin Shunt series.
