Tom, I'm guessing that Stan meant that you use the shunt as a load resistor. Joe Gray W5JG On Tue, May 17, 2016 at 11:07 AM, Tom Miller wrote: > You are mixing the terms "shunt" and "load" I believe in error. The shunt is > not a load. It would be in series with the

Hello David, This seller is offering a lot of ten (10) 0.1 ohm 10W 1% wirewound resistors. These resistors are quite stable and have a fairly low temperature coefficient. I believe you could fabricate a 0.01 ohm +/- 0.04% resistor (after trimming) that could easily handle 9W and do the job.

I have an HP 6674A power supply with option J06, which means that the PSU is 70 V @ 30 A rather than the standard 60 V @ 35 A . I've replaced a couple of bits in this and will need to replace some more, so it would be prudent to get this calibrated. The service manual calls for a 8.5 digit
