Ohm Meter Shunt Type Analog
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11851
Quick Answer: The Ohm Meter Shunt Type Analog is a moving-coil ohmmeter for low resistances in which the unknown resistor is connected in parallel with the meter movement, giving a non-linear scale with zero at the left and infinity at the right.

Key Features
- Shunt-type circuit, with the unknown resistance placed in parallel with the meter.
- Intended for low-value resistances such as coils, shunts and short conductors.
- Permanent magnet moving coil (PMMC) movement.
- Zero-adjust control compensates for the condition of the battery.
- 4 mm brass binding posts.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Shunt type, analogue |
| Movement | Permanent magnet moving coil (PMMC) |
| Circuit | Unknown resistance in parallel with the meter |
| Scale | Non-linear, zero at left, infinity at right |
| Zero adjustment | Manual zero-adjust potentiometer |
| Terminals | 4 mm brass binding posts |
How It Is Used
The meter is first set with the zero-adjust control, then the low resistance is connected across the terminals. Because the resistor bypasses part of the current around the movement, a smaller resistance gives a smaller deflection, and the value is read directly from the non-linear scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Ohm Meter Shunt Type Analog different from a series-type ohmmeter?
The unknown resistance is connected in parallel with the meter movement instead of in series, which suits low-value resistances. Its scale reads zero at the left and infinity at the right.
