Victron Shunt 6000A/50mV-0,5 / 5xM10 - SHU602050200

Victron Energy Shunt 6000A/50mV (5xM10) The Victron Energy 6000A/50mV shunt is a high-current DC measuring shunt designed for large-scale battery monitoring, busbar metering and current measurement in commercial, industrial and off-grid power systems. It is compatible with Victron BMV battery monitors and other instrumentation that accepts a 50mV full-scale signal. At 6000A continuous rating, it is suited to high-capacity battery banks and large inverter installations where standard shunts are undersized. Key Features 6000A continuous DC current rating with a 50mV full-scale output signal. Five M10 connection points provide flexible busbar and cable termination options for high-current installations. Precision-grade construction ensures accurate current measurement across the full rated range. Compatible with Victron BMV battery monitors and any instrumentation accepting a 50mV shunt input. Heavy-duty build rated at 5kg, suitable for permanent fixed installation in switchboards and battery enclosures. GTIN: 8719076035435, SKU: SHU602050200. Product Overview A shunt works by inserting a known, very low resistance into the DC circuit. The voltage drop across that resistance is proportional to the current flowing through it. At 6000A full scale, this shunt produces exactly 50mV, which is the standard input range accepted by most battery monitors and energy meters. The measurement is passive and requires no external power supply to function. The five M10 terminals distinguish this shunt from single-bolt designs. In high-current DC systems, distributing the connection load across multiple bolts reduces contact resistance, improves mechanical stability and allows multiple cable runs or busbars to be landed directly on the shunt body. This is particularly relevant in battery banks where several parallel strings may need to be monitored through a single shunt point. At 6000A, this is one of the largest shunts in the Victron range and is intended for commercial battery storage, large off-grid systems, marine power distribution and industrial DC applications. Correct sizing of the shunt to the maximum expected current is essential for accurate readings. The shunt should be installed on the negative conductor between the battery bank and the system busbar, following Victron's standard wiring recommendations.

What Is Included 1x Victron Energy 6000A/50mV shunt (5xM10) Installation Notes This shunt carries up to 6000A and must be installed by a qualified electrician familiar with high-current DC systems. It should be mounted on the negative conductor between the battery bank negative terminal and the system negative busbar. All M10 connections must be torqued correctly and cable lugs must be rated for the full current. In battery storage installations, ensure the shunt is positioned so that all current to and from the battery passes through it, otherwise readings will be inaccurate. For systems connected to the grid or incorporating inverter-chargers, installation should be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
