I was asked to implement a simple circuit to protect a current measurement shunt. The shunt has 30 watt and 300 joules capacity, roughly say about 25A.
We don't want it fried by very high current.
I am thinking using a spark gap and TVS across the current terminals, but I am not sure it is feasible for such low voltage drop across the shunt.
Anybody has similar experience?
