Discover our range of Non-Inductive Coaxial Current Shunts

Co-axial shunts are increasingly used for their inherent ability to measure fast risetimes. Typical Applications are GaN technologies and Ultra-high di/dt risetime measurements where transition time matters. These co-axial shunt current viewing resistors (CVRs) are available with operational bandwidths from DC to 1000 MHz

What is a Co-Axial shunt?

A co-axial current shunt has a distinct tubular mechanical design that helps cancel fields minimising inductance, resulting in very high frequency performance from DC to GHz. A coaxial shunt is used to measure AC currents, particularly risetimes found in GaN switching devices in power electronics, providing a low-resistance non-inductive path for current to flow through its cylinders
