Re: Resistor for current measurement
Alan has pointed out the serious nature of power in your attempt to get valid current data. The Jaguar uses a 0.0005 ohm/2watt resistor. AT CIM stall current of 129 amps, that is almost 8.5 watts. One foot of #10 wire on the other hand is 0.001 ohms, will drop 0.1 volt at 100 amps and can easily dissipate the resultant heat.
