This may be a bozo approach, but if you took two 10 amp shunts and
connected them in parallel, you would get a 20 amp shunt out of the deal.

Forrest,
Would you be willing to make a 20A shunt? Would the traces on your
current design handle it?
Reason I'm asking is... I'm stupid. I had a 10A shunt on the batt
negative side of a Traco BCMU360. Didn't occur to me that 230 watts @
~12VDC can get up to 20A. So the shunt went kaput after about 25
minutes and the site went down. Not a problem at most other sites with
less load. This one happens to be the most heavily loaded with two
Trango ApexPlus, various APs and PTPs plus the DC-DC inefficiencies.
