At 2000A, this unit is rated for systems well beyond typical residential scale, covering large off-grid installations, marine vessels with high electrical loads, and commercial battery storage setups. The 50mV shunt drop is a standard value that balances measurement accuracy with acceptable power dissipation at high currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP65 rating distinguishes this model from the standard SmartShunt range. It means the unit can be installed in locations subject to dust and occasional water spray, such as engine rooms, battery compartments with poor ventilation, or outdoor enclosures. This makes it a practical choice where a standard IP20 or unrated unit would not be appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntegration with the Victron ecosystem is handled through the VE.Direct port. When connected to a Cerbo GX or other GX device, the SmartShunt feeds battery data into the Venus OS dashboard and can be monitored remotely via the VRM portal. This makes it a reliable data source in larger multi-device installations rather than a standalone instrument only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: SHU065220050\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurrent rating: 2000A continuous\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShunt drop: 50mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP rating: IP65\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnectivity: Bluetooth (Victron Connect app), VE.Direct\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.22 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076057918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge off-grid solar installations with high-capacity battery banks requiring accurate state-of-charge monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and narrowboat electrical systems with high continuous current demands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial and industrial battery storage systems integrated with Victron GX devices and VRM remote monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorhome and coach conversions with large lithium or lead-acid battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallations in damp or dusty environments where an IP65-rated component is specified.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Victron SmartShunt 2000A\/50mV IP65 unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShunt must be installed in the negative battery cable between the battery negative terminal and all other negative connections in the system. Incorrect wiring will produce inaccurate readings. At 2000A, the associated cabling, fusing, and busbar connections must be rated appropriately for the system's maximum current. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced system integrator familiar with high-current DC systems. For systems incorporating lithium batteries or grid-connected elements, ensure all relevant safety and compliance requirements are met before commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59866759266638,"sku":"SHU065220050","price":174.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SHU065220050_-_SmartShunt_2000A-50mV_IP65.webp?v=1781200507","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-smartshunt-2000a-50mv-ip65","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
