Shunt Resistors for EV Charging Systems

EV charging infrastructure requires reliable DC current measurement for safety, performance monitoring and system control. Shunt Europe manufactures high-precision shunt resistors for DC fast charging stations, power conversion and high power DC systems.

Where shunt resistors are used in EV charging

  • DC fast charging stations and power cabinets
  • Power conversion: rectifiers, converters and DC link monitoring
  • Protection and diagnostics: overcurrent detection and fault analysis
  • High power DC distribution cabinets and monitoring systems

Typical requirements

  • Current range (A) and overload profile
  • Voltage drop (mV) required by the measurement circuit
  • Accuracy / tolerance and temperature drift constraints
  • Operating temperature range and duty cycle
  • Mounting constraints: panel / busbar / compact OEM integration

Typical current ranges

Current levels depend on charging power and system architecture. Below are common ranges supported in EV charging applications.
