I was just pondering something about my DC system. I have a Marinetec
Ammeter in the panel (I think it’s the one we allmost have).There’s no shunt anywhere on my boat… how the heck does that work?

Patrick,
My DC ammeter has a shunt mounted on the back of the meter. Some
ammeters have internal shunts. So hard to tell, but there should be a
shunt.Regards,
John Stevenson

A shunt for 120 vac is much smaller than one for 12 vdc for the same power –
remember at 120vac, 20 amps becomes 12vdc almost 200 amps forgetting rms and
power factors. You can see why the different sizes…Bob

One might call it a runt of a shunt.

That would be a bit of a stunt.

To suggest a runt of a shunt is a stunt is rather blunt.
