Wire and Strip Shunt Resistors
Low-ohmic resistors (shunts) are crucial for precise and reliable current measurement in power electronic applications.
FROLYT shunt resistors are manufactured entirely from resistance alloys and are characterized by a low-induction design, low thermal voltages, and stable long-term properties.
By avoiding welded joints, no additional contact resistance is created – a key factor for reproducible measured values in real-world operation.
Our wire and strip shunts cover resistance ranges from 1 mΩ to 100 mΩ and are designed for both continuous and pulse loads.
In many applications, the nominal value is not the problem – it is the behavior during operation.
These effects only appear in real-world operation – e.g., under temperature stress or varying loads.
FROLYT shunts are designed to reduce exactly these risks – through material selection, geometry, and a weld-free construction.
The goal is not just a defined resistance value, but a component that behaves predictably under real conditions.
Therefore, the design, measuring point, and connection geometry are tailored to the respective application.
