Best Answer

Similar to the third wire on an RTD, 2 terminals are the current carrying conductors, 2 for the voltage. There will be a voltage drop across any current carrying connection.

The voltage sense lines don't carry any current, so they accruately measure the voltage across the calibrated resistor/shunt.

What is called when a child has value shunt caused of water in the brain?

The shunt used for a person who has hydrocephalus ("water on the brain") is not called a "value shunt". It is usually called a "ventriculo-peritoneal shunt" or "VP shunt" for short. Sometimes a "ventriculo-atrial shunt" or "VA shunt" is used instead.


Can you use the separately excited shunt generator machine as self excited generator?

You have a seperately excited generator and then you have a shunt generator which has the field winding in parallel with the armature terminals. In DC machines a separately excited generator could be run as a shunt generator provided the field winding is designed to work on the generated voltage. A separately excited alternator needs a DC supply for the field winding. In car alternators that is taken from the main winding via a rectifier and a voltage regulator.
