6.5.9 HF Current Shunts
External current shunts can be used as an alternative to the instruments internal
shunt as a fixed value Impedance circuit.
Note
do not use both shunts together
Test equipment for demonstration:
1 x Inverter/Motor test unit (single phase)
1 x HF 003 Current Shunt (shunt resistance = 470mΩ)
Wiring Configuration:
Connect BNC safety lead between the “A EXT” BNC on the
rear of the PPA45xx and the BNC connector on the HF shunt
*Remember disconnect all leads to appropriate channels internal current shunt*
