National Instruments CSM-10A

The National Instruments CSM-10A Current Shunt Module is an essential device for accurately measuring electrical current by analyzing the voltage drop across a precision resistor. Designed with a nominal current shunt of 10 A, the CSM-10A boasts a maximum current limit of 10 A, making it an excellent choice for various testing scenarios. This module is compatible with several digital multimeters, including the NI PXI-4070, NI PCMCIA-4050, and NI PXI/PCI-4060, as well as any third-party DMM that features banana jacks spaced 0.75 inches apart.

The CSM-10A is engineered with a burden voltage of 400 mV and provides an accuracy of ±0.5% within a frequency range of DC to 25 kHz. It is equipped with a quick-acting fuse rated for 12.5 A at 250 V, ensuring safe operation under specified conditions. The maximum working voltage is 250 V in both HI to earth ground and LO to earth ground configurations. Operating effectively within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, the CSM-10A is an invaluable tool for electrical measurement tasks. For optimal use, a flat-head screwdriver, a set of test probes, and a compatible computer system are required. A user manual and maintenance manual are available for download, offering comprehensive guidance on the module's functionalities.
