What should I note when measuring shunt resistance?

A

When testing or measuring shunt resistors, it is necessary to exercise caution concerning heating caused by wiring resistance and contact resistance and to remain aware of fact that certain measurement methods may have an adverse impact on the resistance temperature coefficient. When it is not possible to keep the wiring resistance and contact resistance low, it is important to minimize variations in resistance values caused by heating by lowering the measurement current or reducing the amount of time over which it flows.
