We are doing a research about energy metering and in order to measure the current the circuit we acquired uses a current shunt. It looks like a U shaped metal that is made of manganese. We know that a shunt is just a component that allows current to pass through so it is just a kind of resistor. Is it possible to just use a normal resistor that can handle the power? We are using it at the beginning of the circuit and 220Vac will pass through it.
