Model 1625A Precision AC/DC Current Shunt


Product Summary

BLI 1625 Shunt
The BLI 1625A is a multiranging, high accuracy, active current shunt, for use in making NIST traceable measurements of currents from 10 microamperes to 100 Amperes.
Very high measurement stability has been achieved in our shunt design by using special alloys, compensated by a proprietary Ballantine process to minimize temperature coefficient effects.

Shunts

All shunts are four terminal networks with calibration adjustments for each network. Table 1-1 gives specifications for each shunt and shunt range.

Accuracy
Stated for 1 year at 23°C ±2°C. Expressed accuracy of volts output to current input of the reading, add ±10 uV for 0.2 mA to 2 A, and ±30 uV for 20 A to 100A, to all percentage limits.

Output Voltage
200 mV full scale on all ranges, except 100 mV full scale on the 100 A range.

Output Loading
1 Megohm shunted by less than 100 pF.

Amplifier

Gain: 10.000 to 1

Accuracy: ±50 ppm ±10 uV at dc. Adjustable with rear panel accessible control.

Offset Voltage: Less than 10 uV. Adjustable to ZERO with rear panel accessible control.

Frequency Response
±0.01% to 1 kHz
±0.025% to 10 kHz

Input Resistance: 10 Megohms across input binding posts. Differential, balanced to output common.

Output Resistance: Less than 0.01 Ohms when using sense leads.

Output Voltage (rms): 2 V rms or ±4 V peak.

Maximum Output Current: ±75 mA (dc or ac peak). Protected against damage with continuous short circuits.

Load Resistance: 20 ohms or greater for full rms output.

Common Mode Rejection: 90 dB (dc to 60 Hz).

Common Mode Voltage: ±10 Volts max.

Distortion and Noise: >70 dB below full scale rms output over a bandwidth of dc to 10 kHz.

Amplifier Output
Four wire output through 5 pin female DIN connector. Uses Model 16251A and wire sense cable accessory with 874 output connector.

Input/Output Terminals
Gold plated universal binding posts on all ranges, except 100A range which uses high current female terminals.
