current sensing often involves breaking into the current path and inserting a small-value sense resistor (also called a shunt resistor, or simply a shunt). Though there are ways to sense current ...

This is the underlying principle behind the current shunt. A current flows through a resistor, and the voltage drop across the resistor is measured. If the resistance also is known, the current ...

The relatively simple modification to the first-generation Insight involves a shunt resistor, which lets the computer sense the amount of current being drawn from the hybrid battery and delivered ...
