The M-Shunt is an innovative, ultra-low-inductive current sensor engineered for the next generation of power electronics, e-mobility, renewable energy systems, and high-frequency converters. Combining exceptional bandwidth with robust mechanical and thermal design, it delivers unrivalled signal quality for engineers and system developers who demand accuracy at every switching edge.

Whether you’re designing cutting-edge power converters, validating high-speed switching behaviour, or optimising dynamic current control, the M-Shunt offers a level of performance that conventional shunts and magnetic sensors simply cannot match.

When and Why to Choose the M-Shunt

The M-Shunt is the preferred solution when high bandwidth and high current-carrying capability are required simultaneously. Its ultra-low parasitic inductance enables accurate measurement of fast current transients and high di/dt events without the dynamic limitations of conventional shunt concepts.

The design targets modern high-frequency power conversion systems where precise transient characterization and wide spectral fidelity are essential. The combination of mechanical robustness and compact geometry ensures stable electrical performance under demanding operating conditions.

Selection Guidance

A systematic selection tool is currently under development to provide structured guidance on when the M-Shunt represents the optimal measurement approach — and when alternative sensing principles may be more appropriate.

Until its release, selection support can be obtained by contacting us directly or by consulting our published EPE Aalborg paper as a technical reference.

In general, the M-Shunt is the method of choice when maximum bandwidth and substantial current capability must be achieved without compromising measurement fidelity.
