Default Making a Shunt Resistor

As part of another project, would like to take some High Current DC measurements.

Depending how accurate they need to be, you can get a cheapish DC only
current meter with ranges of +- 100A and +-600 Amps from most decent
motor factors. Mine's made by Durite, Part No. 0-534-00.

They're sold for checking charging and starter currents without breaking
the circuit, you just put the wire into a channel on the back of the meter.

The e-bay auction's ended, but you get the idea...

I bought mine a few years ago, though. And no, it's not for sale, it's
too useful. :-)
