Make Your Own Shunts - Using a modern multimeter to measure
current can sometimes be difficult. Many of these meters will only
measure up to one amp. However, may 112-volt DC powered projects draw
a lot more than that. If you have ever thought of purchasing.... [Tony van

MOSFET shunt regulator substitutes for series regulator -
25-Nov-04 Issue of EDN You would normally use a series linear
regulator or a dc/dc converter to obtain 3V dc from a higher supply.
However, when breadboarding a concept, you may be able to use a shunt
regulator, especially if a series regulator of the correct voltage is
unavailable. The MOSFET in Figure 1 can replace a zener diode in a shunt
regulator and provide lower output impedance than a zener diode.... [Design

Shunting Lights for DCC Locomotives - Digital decoders in model locomotives
usually have two outputs for lighting functions. One switches the front lights for
forward travel, and the other for reverse travel. If the locomotive has red rear
lights, they are also connected to the two outputs. Many digital decoders include
function mapping capability, which allows the switch functions to be assigned as
desired. For example, with function mapping you can control the lighting not only for
normal running, but also for shunting yard operations with the lights lit at both ends
of the locomotive.….must register on this site.... [Published in Elecktor July/August
