Basically, your series and shunt ohmmeters differ in circuit configuration. Your series ohmmeter is configured in a way that your "meter" (which has internal resistance) is connected in series to your "measured resistor" and we all know that those TWO resistances will ADD up causing some sort of inaccuracy. While on the other hand, your shunt ohmmeter is configured in a way wherein your "meter" is connected in PARALLEL to your "measured resistor" that will ease-up the inaccuracy but will only measure resistances ranging from 200 Ohms to 400 Ohms (typically and depending on your configuration).

What is the difference in series type and shunt type ohmmeter?

In a series type ohmmeter, the current passes through the resistance being measured, while in a shunt type ohmmeter, the current is diverted around the resistance being measured. Series type ohmmeters are usually less accurate but simpler, while shunt type ohmmeters are more accurate but more complex.


What is the difference between shunt and series regulator?

Basic voltage regulators are classified as either SERIES or SHUNT, depending on the location or position of the regulating element(s) in relation to the circuit load resistance.


What is the difference between a seperately excited DC generator and DC shunt generator?

The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.

What is difference between stab shunt dc motor and shunt dc motor?

A series motor respond by decreasing its speed with small increase in current for a given load torque. A shunt motor holds its speed nearly constant with large increase in input current for same amount of load torque


What is difference between series fed and shunt fed hartley oscillator?

The DC voltage for the amplifier (transistor or FET) runs for a series-fed oscillator through the inductance of the LC circuit. A shunt-fed oscillator uses a radio-frequency choke or a resistor to deliver DC voltage to the amplifier. For an oscillator the difference between serial-fed and shunt-fed is small. The choke resonance frequency can interact with the LC circuit resonance frequency. This problem happens only with shunt-fed. Furthermore series-fed needs less components. Therefore it is prefered for (low power) oscillators. The output circuit of an amp can be series-fed or shunt-fed, too. The additional DC current through the coil will drive a iron or ferrite core earlier into saturation. This is an disadvantage of serial-fed. At a high-voltage tube RF amp with say 2000V DC voltage, in the shunt-fed amp only the choke and the DC blocking capacity have to withstand the high voltage. This is an advantage of the shunt-fed solution.
