Hi,
I have one 40A shunt and four 25Amp shunts for sale. Both types are marked '50MV', I suspect that means 50mV drop at max. Amp?
Massive 15mm thick mounting base in black and lots of brass on top with two nuts and two spring washers each. The actual shunt is a small notched copper flat. A 2011-2012 Altronics catalogue tells me a 100Amp model sells new for $20. Location Perth.
How much am I bid?

Dom , keep them .
For what you get , you will kick yourself in years to come ,when you do some experimenting .. Remember , you can alter those shunts just by deepening the cuts or ever soldering one or two cuts up a bit ! I've got stuff here that is going back to when I started this hobby. I've considered getting rid of it ,but for the small $ amount and bother ,I'll keep it til someone comes over and "really" needs it . He can have it for the benefit of the hobby .
