    Hello All!
    Very satisfied with my SKU:200139. Now I need to be able to measure current used up to 40 A, under 12Volts, in a sailing boat.
    – How to add an external shunt,(parallel to the actual one? diagram needed),
    – Which value for it?
    – How to manufacture it with coiled copper for example?

    Thanks in advance for your assistance and best regards.

    Hello Bernard,
    Thanks for your business.
    It’s regretted this item is 20A specification. Even if you add a shunt, it is impossible to measure current over 20A. The meter will be damaged due to overcurrent. Hope you can understand.
    Best regards.
