(Newswire.net — September 8, 2014) Alhambra, California — Quality and consistency have always been hallmark attributes of every Riedon product and their new line of RS shunts lives up to their half-century reputation of excellence. The industry’s shortest lead times coupled with a wide current rating range of 5A to 1200A ensures the new RS shunts’ application in a wide variety of renewable energy sources including solar power systems, turbines, and electric vehicles. Electroplating, mining, and heavy industry clients will also benefit from the new features found in the RS model.
As an industry leader and competitor in the field for over 50 years, Riedon has the power to create groundbreaking products that shape the market. Phil Ebbert, Riedon’s VP of Engineering, boasts that the new RS Shunts are the “only… precision DC ammeter shunts that are UL approved and fully RoHS compliant.”
Ebbert went on to explain that Rideon’s ability to provide competitive prices while offering custom designs puts them a head above their competitors. The company is known for its unique ability to service huge Fortune 100 clients and independent small businesses alike. The new off-the-shelf RS shunts have a standard output of between 50mV and 100mV, but Riedon has stayed true to their reputation by offering custom output voltages to customers that make a request.
A wide range of potential applications resulted in the design of three RS shunt body types of varying current rating. All three body types are designed for use in DC ammeters and other similar measuring systems and are consistently constructed with a 4-terminal design that ensures a separation between voltage sensing terminals load carrying connections. The terminals are constructed using either brass or copper depending on the desired current rating.
