Can anyone tell me the easy way to make a 200 mV DC shunt

RE: DC Shunt
The standard method for manufacturing shunts (up to 15000 A) is to braze rods of resistive alloys (with low TC) between two copper busbars. Later the shunt is calibrated to the nominal value by removing some of the resistive material e.g. by milling.

RE: DC Shunt
I would reccomend that you only use 50% of full scale when choosing a shunt. For example, if you need 200 amps, I would select a 400 amp shunt. This will provide you with less error due to self-heating.
