Mac, Well, maybe not yet. If you expect to run consistently high current, you will want a shunt larger than 500A, as according to Ralph Heisey at Bogart Engineering, most shunts can handle about 2/3 of their rated capacity for extended duration, befor

You will need to get a 1000 amp 100 mV shunt. I did just what you're wanting to do on a 4 SW4048 inverter system once. I built my own buss out of copper bar, but you might be able to double up the Midnite buss on to the bigger shunt. I then used paralleled 4/0 cables for the battery side of the
