Abstract
A method for determining an electric current includes sending the electric current to be measured through a shunt arrangement that includes at least three identical resistors. The at least three identical resistors are thermally coupled to a common base plate and are electrically interconnected such that the electric current is at least partially divided such that a first local current through a first resistor is not equal to a second local current through a second resistor. The method also includes measuring, at the shunt arrangement, a first voltage and a second voltage via which the voltage dropping across a first resistor and across a second resistor are directly or indirectly determinable, and determining the electric current via the first voltage and the second voltage. A heating in the shunt arrangement generated by the electric current is at least partially taken into account in the determining the electric current.
