Non Linear Resistance Shunts

Non Linear Resistance Shunts: Non Linear Resistance are especially suitable, both from space and reliability considerations for small shunt currents in conditions where wire-wound resistors tend to be less satisfactory on mechanical grounds. Where heavy currents are involved, there may be difficulty in accommodating the relatively large volume of resistor material that is required. Non …
