Product Details

The Blue Sea Systems 9228 is a precision analog meter shunt designed for use with DC ammeters in marine and automotive electrical systems. This shunt provides accurate current measurement by converting 50 amps of current flow into a 50 millivolt signal that can be read by standard analog DC ammeters.

Key Features:

  • 50 amp capacity with 50mV output for precise current measurement
  • Designed specifically for DC ammeter applications
  • Recommended maximum continuous operation at 33 amps (66% of rated capacity) for optimal longevity
  • Durable construction for marine and automotive environments
  • Easy installation with standard mounting configuration

This shunt is an essential component for monitoring electrical system performance, battery charging rates, and current consumption in boats, RVs, and other 12V/24V DC systems. For continuous operation under normal conditions, Blue Sea Systems recommends not exceeding two-thirds of the rated current capacity to ensure reliable long-term performance.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Autoplicity has a wide selection of parts and great prices. Fast shipping and great customer service.

Very easy to find and purchase what I needed. It showed up at a reasonable time.

Great simple ordering process.

Order confirmation was unclear. It did not provide the carrier or a tracking number that was recognized by USPS, UPS, of FedEx. Used contact form on website to request clarification, but received no reply. Order took a little longer than expected to ship,

Easy online ordering

Definitely the best price online by far! And the option to check out using Amazon is an added bonus. This will be my first stop for any future needs.
