Hi everyone,
The shunt supplied with the EMS-D10 does not come with a cover and, eventhough it will be installed on the cabin side, I would like to protect it from anything that can come in contact with it. A cover similar to the ANL holder would be nice. What have you done to prevent a short of its terminals? Suggestions please.
Michel

You could paint on some liquid electrical tape.

I have heard where some people just secure a piece of baffle material above the shunt so that the baffle material hangs down over and on top of the shunt.

I have also thought about doing this:
Home Depot has clear, plastic, 3/4" (or so) angle located in their bath/shower section. Since your shunt is on the cabin side, you could secure one piece of the angle above the shunt, and secure a second piece of the angle hanging off the first piece of angle. This second piece would hang down over the shunt. That's probably very hard to understand just by reading.....sorry.

I used a piece of heat shrink over the shunt bar, and then a couple of terminal nipples http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/termnips.php over the bolted connections.

that seems like the cleanest solution to me.

Thanks to you all. I guess it will be a combination of liquid tape, nipples and heat shrink that will do the job.
