释义 | shuntingshuntS0378900 (shŭnt)shunting(ˈʃʌntɪŋ)shuntingshunting[′shənt·iŋ]ShuntingThe act of connecting an electrical element in parallel with (across) another element. The shunting connection is shown in illus. a. An example of shunting involves a measuring instrument whose movement coil is designed to carry only a small current for a full-scale deflection of the meter. To protect this coil from an excessive current that would destroy it when measuring currents that exceed its rating, a shunt resistor carries the excess current. Illustration b shows an ammeter (a current-measuring instrument) with internal resistance RA. It is shunted by a resistor RS. The current through the movement coil is a fraction of the measured current, and is given by the equation below. Similar connections and calculations are used in a shunt ohmmeter to measure electrical resistance. Shunt capacitors are often used for voltage correction in power transmission lines. A shunt capacitor may be used for the correction of the power factor of a load. In direct current shunt motors, the excitation (field) winding is connected in parallel with the armature. See Direct-current motor, Ohmmeter, Resistance measurement In electronic applications, a shunt regulator is used to divert an excessive current around a particular circuit. In broadband electronic amplifiers, several techniques may be used to extend the bandwidth. For high-frequency extension, a shunt compensation is used where, typically, a capacitor is shunted across an appropriate part of the circuit. Shunt capacitors (or more complicated circuits) are often used to stabilize and prevent undesired oscillations in amplifier and feedback circuits.
