Title:
SHUNT RESISTANCE DEVICE FOR MONITORING BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001031718
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A device for monitoring current flowing through an electrical circuit includes a current shunt plate (22) connected between at least one terminal of the electrical circuit and an electrical load; a circuit board (34) mounted to the current shunt plate at at least two connection points (40a, 40b); and a current measuring device mounted on the circuit board; the current measuring device being adapted for measuring a voltage drop between the at least two connection points and determining the current flowing through the electrical circuit.
