I cannot find any detailed information on the 500A / 50mV shunt used with the BMV-712.
Does anyone have a drawing of the shunt and know what size bolts are used (e.g. M8, M10?).
asked
Datasheet or drawing for 500A / 50mV shunt?
@Guy Stewart (Victron Energy Staff), @mvader (Victron Energy Staff)
A datasheet for this shunt should really be available on the Victron website. The essential details should also be included in the BMV-712 technical manual since it appears to be included in the package.
As a prospective user (I have not yet purchased the BMV-712) I would find the following information very useful:
- A basic drawing with overall dimensions, including spacing of the mounting holes.
- The bolt sizes since I am going to have to order battery cables with correctly-sized ring-lugs.
- Simple wiring diagram between Battery, Shunt, System loads and the BMV-712
I don't want this to sound like a rant, but it should not be this difficult to get basic info on Victron equipment.
Pretty sure they are M10 they are for sure NOT M8
Paul B you are correct, the 500A shunt bolts are definitely M10 size.
- Shunt terminal size: M10
- Shunt mounting holes: 5.8mm dia. (101.5mm between centres)
- Shunt overall dims: 120 (L) x 40 (W) x 50 (H) mm
