Calculate Shunt Current



Formula

The formula to calculate the Shunt Current (Is) is:

\[ Is = It - Ir \]

What is Shunt Current?

Shunt current is the current that flows through a shunt resistor, which is used to measure the current in a circuit. It is calculated by subtracting the current across the resistor from the total current in the circuit.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Shunt Current:

\[ Is = 10 - 3 = 7 \text{ amps} \]

This means that the shunt current for this example is 7 amps.
