Abstract
A low profile shunt has an electrically insulated substrate with opposing electrical terminals joined to a sensing device by two electrically conductive layers. The conductive layers are laminated on each side of a shunt layer extending between the terminals. An insulating tape insulates the copper foil conductive and shunt layers from each other between the terminals. The sensing element is a measuring resistor having a resistive value many times greater than that of the shunt layer such that relatively low current measurements may by made at the sensing element.
