shunt/ current sense resistor question
In article ,
says...
Here's a diagram of what I was trying to explain. I wasn't sure I was
very clear, so hopefully the diagram will better relate:

I understand what you are going to do.
To put your mind at ease Astron that makes power supplies has a 20 amp
one that has two pass transistors. That means that each one would be
good for 10 amps. They use only one .1 ohm 10 watt per transistor.
I have larger ones that do the same thing and they have worked for years
with no problems.
Each of your resistors will need to be less than 3 watts at a 10 amp
current if a quick calculation is correct.
