Abstract
The invention pertains to a shunt resistor for a current measurement apparatus of a busbar, the resistor having a planar resistor body and two connection terminals for measuring voltage across the planar resistor body, wherein each of the two connection terminals is connected to one of two conductive traces provided on opposite sides of the resistor body, and wherein each of the conductive traces includes a measurement portion and a connection portion for connecting the measurement portion to one of the connection terminals. The invention is also directed at a current measurement apparatus including said shunt resistor and a current path provided in parallel to the shunt resistor. The invention is furthermore directed at a busbar with a corresponding current measurement apparatus, wherein the shunt resistor and the current path are provided for connecting the busbar to an electronic component.
