Abstract :
In this study, it is aimed to fabricate DC current shunt in the range from 1 A to 10 A with high accuracy and low drift. Resistance value of shunt was chosen as 10 mΩ which is compatible to the national traceability chain. 10 mΩ DC current shunt was fabricated, characterized and was put into use at TÜBİTAK UME (National Metrology Institute of Turkey) DC Resistance Laboratory.
