Shunt Tap Operation
The length of
the uniform temperature zone and the temperature variation
allowable. By placing a suitable length of resistance wire
from one shunt tap to another, a parallel circuit is created,
reducing the amount of current through the windings at this
point. The amount of current bypassed will depend on the
amount of resistance wire used.
