Product Description
The 6146 is a calibrated ammeter shunt for aircraft DC electrical systems. This low-resistance component mounts in the high-current lead between the power source and main bus, allowing the panel ammeter to measure system current via voltage drop. Shunts work with external-shunt meters (typically 50 mV systems) to display charge and discharge status during flight operations.
Install per the aircraft maintenance manual using accepted practices outlined in FAA AC 43.13-1B, ensuring proper wire gauge and secure mechanical connection to minimize voltage loss and measurement error.
Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
