PVGFP [RE-wrenches]

[Phil Undercuffler]

I have had success mounting a Square D ground buss kit to the load side of a
500A shunt.  I drill into the side and tap the hole with consecutively a
standard tap followed by a flat bottomed tap (specialized tap for holes that
don't go all the way through a block of metal).  I usually use at least a 15
position ground buss, to make it worthwhile.  The insulated base of the
shunt provides isolation.

Enjoy the Sun!
