Key Features
- Demonstrates the shunt-type ohmmeter principle
- Analogue scale shows pointer deflection on a non-linear resistance scale
- Teaches zero adjustment and scale reading
- Used only on isolated, switched-off components
- Helps compare series-type and shunt-type ohmmeter operation

About This Product
The circuit or component is switched off and disconnected, the test leads are connected and the pointer is checked and zeroed where needed before the unknown resistor is measured. Students then compare their readings with known resistance values, which helps them understand non-linear analogue scale reading and supports Ohm’s law and circuit practicals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does shunt type mean?
In a shunt-type ohmmeter the unknown resistance is connected in a parallel, or shunt, path across the meter circuit, rather than in series with it.
