  2. i have tested wire resistance with internal resistance meter (YR1035+) and it works great, even can test 5mohm resistance

  3. So, what about 120VAC with a 0-500mA vintage analog meter that shouldn't be measuring more than 350-400mA through a dim bulb tester with two 60W bulbs?

  5. Really enjoyed vid matey, thank you. You are quite funny to 🙂

  6. Hi ,
    I have battery discharge machine which is release charge for 30A , but I don’t have current shunt meter with me. So I try find some relate article but my case is different , my machine charge 30A based on my programming, the connection should be + I and -I connection both lead of shunt resistor and my meter connected parallel too. Is this correct ? Please advise thanks

  7. Perfect educational video. Understood everything; not like the other shunt video I just fast forwarded as the presenter fumbled through his description. Top job. Thanks.

  15. Help Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're My Only Hope! Excellent video as usual. New subject: I haven't had any luck finding information on how solar/wind etc power in a grid tie system is put back into the grid other than someone saying they use "this piece of equipment". What must be done to the power and what form does it take to run backwards into the grid? Thanks in advance.

  20. Do you have a video on the shunt in use with a volt and amp meter; how is it set up and used?

  21. I was searching how the hell a shunt resistor helps me to undestand how much current is in the circuit, I searched for hours and found only very hard to undestrand articles or unuseful videos without any pratical example. finally with your video and your pratical examples I undestood the theory. Thanks a lot!

  23. Some key questions you did not cover: What is the purpose of a shunt? Is it just to have something laying around to measure for the fun of it? Does it actually do anything in a circuit and if so, what? Is a shunt just another name for a resistor? Since you started off by saying that I sent to something we can measure with, what is it that could be in a circuit board that would measure something and if it did measure it, what would it do with that information?

  24. I am truly confused by your explanation. You start by saying that a shunt is something that you use to measure with and then you show something that you refer to as a shunt installed in some kind of circuitry. Why would you install something in the circuit that you could measure something with?

  27. OMG YES! So I was out in the field milking cows, when I saw three of them in a configuration that reminded me of a transistor. Suddenly, I remembered and said to myself "Buggers! that's right, I need to order that circuit board for my Automatic Top Off PCB"

  28. @0:01 "what is a shunt?" he doesn't explain what a shunt is, but instead he explains its application. "used to measure current"
    This is like a thing from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, it built for education, but leaves gaping holes in the explanation. At least the missing information is covered later

  30. More explanation of why we don't care what the circuit voltage is. And more explanation of what is the voltage drop and what causes it.
