Engineering note: how to choose mV

For DC current measurement, the voltage drop (typically 50mV, 60mV, 75mV or 100mV) affects both measurement signal and thermal dissipation. Higher mV improves signal margin but increases power. Use our shunt resistor calculator to estimate resistance (mΩ) and power dissipation (W) before requesting a quotation.

FAQ

What do I need to request a quotation?
Current range, voltage drop (mV), accuracy requirement, mounting constraints, operating temperature and overload profile.
How do I calculate shunt resistance from current and mV?
Use R = V / I, where V is voltage drop in volts (mV / 1000) and I is current in amperes. Example: 75mV at 5000A → R = 0.075 / 5000 = 0.000015Ω = 0.015mΩ.
How do I estimate power dissipation of a shunt?
Power is P = V × I. Example: 75mV at 5000A → P = 0.075 × 5000 = 375W. Always validate temperature rise with your duty cycle and cooling conditions.
