There will likely be a 20A shunt in our future.    I'm in the process of
redesigning these so that they're less expensive to build since the
existing design is being sold at or possibly below cost.  I'm trying to end
up with a 20A shunt as a result but I don't know for sure if this will
happen.

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.
