Victron Energy Smartshunt SHU065150050 500A 50mV IP65 Shunt de bateria

The Victron Energy Smartshunt SHU065150050 500A 50mV IP65 battery shunt is a precision current sensing device designed to measure charge and discharge currents in 12V–48V battery systems. It delivers a 50 mV full-scale voltage at 500 A, enabling accurate state-of-charge (SOC) calculations and energy tracking when connected to Victron monitoring products. Housed with IP65 protection, the shunt is suitable for installation in environments where dust and water spray may occur and integrates with Victron monitoring networks for local or remote battery monitoring.

Advantages

The Smartshunt provides accurate current measurement up to 500 A with a 50 mV reference output, which supports reliable SOC estimation and energy balance calculations. Its IP65-rated enclosure offers protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, increasing durability in marine, caravan, and outdoor installations. Compatibility with Victron monitoring systems enables centralized data collection and remote access to battery parameters, simplifying system oversight.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the shunt in the negative battery return line according to the system layout, ensuring secure bolted connections for the main current path. Connect the monitoring interface to a compatible Victron monitoring device or network following the manufacturer’s wiring diagram to enable SOC and energy monitoring. Verify polarity and torque values for main terminals, then power the monitoring device to confirm reading of current, voltage, and accumulated ampere-hours.

Recommendations

Mount the shunt in a dry, ventilated location where the IP65 rating protects against splashes and dust but avoid prolonged immersion. Use appropriate cable sizes and fuses for the expected current to minimize voltage drop and ensure accurate measurements. Periodically inspect connections for corrosion or looseness and update connected Victron monitoring firmware when available to maintain compatibility and measurement accuracy.
